I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every time I used google assistant. This is just some of the data and I'm very sure there is even more data they have.

Anybody with access to your finger, which means they don't need you to be conscious or even alive to access your phone.

If they have me dead or unconscious my phone is the least of my concerns.

Needing a password/pattern instead makes them want to keep you alive tho. Good opsec.

Totally. I'm not saying it's better security just that in a situation like that I'm not really worried about what's going on with my phone.

Thats kinda fucked up. So you dont mind if all the conversations with your friends get published publicly?

You're not a good friend.

My friends don't want to use end to end encrypted platforms so it's one data leak from being public anyway.

The suspect was later arrested in possession of a severed finger and a dank porn stash on the victims mobile phone

Depends if you wanna be remembered as John Smith instead of "Ah Yeah, John Smith the furry midget lover"
