And yet, as a service member that was part of the 2013 OPM data breech, my finger prints (and an estimated 5.5 million other peoples) were part of the dataset that was stolen.

The main issue with biometrics is that you can’t change them. If your fingerprints or retina are compromised you’re fucked.
Unless I meet you in person, I’m not going to get your biometrics. The point of these is to protect your accounts from the global Internet.

It doesn’t need to be physical breach. If it’s stored somewhere it can (and might) be accessed by someone else and reconstructed.
And still useless unless they also steal your phone. You are still safe from the hackers on the other side of the planet
