It kind of makes sense. Biometrics are a whole different discipline in security and identification. It's harder to spoof, and while not really necessary for the lowly consumer, will increase their device security.

That said, you can't just say it makes no sense for any outrage when you take into account the current political hot buttons of the day: NSA's breach of trust, Rising "Inverted Totalitarianism" within the government, the lack of trust in corporate entities, etc.

It's a matter of trust. If you can't trust either a corporation or government, then this amount of open access seems scary. You may not be scared, but to dismiss others people's concern as not valid proves you're not obviously sympathetic to their viewpoint.
