The thing I don't understand is, why use an "anything" reader on a
hand phone? I've been using hand phones since they were small enough
to be carried in one hand and I've never used a
thumb/hand/nose/anything/ reader and even more telling I've never seen
anyone else use one... in at least 4 different countries.

A fingerprint reader is quite convenient:
- I use the fingerprint reader as a substitute for the phone on/off
button.
- Some web sites use the fingerprint reader to speed up a web login
process.  Instead of a login, password, 2FA, wait for the text
message, and type in the 2FA number, using the fingerprint reader does
it all in one action.  I use it for login to various medical web
sites, where I usually need to login and check something in a hurry.

Unfortunately, fingerprint readers are far from perfect:
