Good point.
The only thing that is pro-biometics is the general hype that this company tries to exploit. If you have a closer look, biometrics have a lot of disadvantages from a security point of view:

• Biometric data cannot be hidden from attacers
• If you know unauthorized access has been gained, you cannot change the "password"

Thus biometrics are convenient, but insecure.
