They design cars for thousands of different buyers with different wants and needs, Many will prefer a fingerprint reader and not carry a phone or card

phone will work even if battery is dead at least for GV80 2025
If I don't have my phone I always have my apple watch on. Why even bother with flaky fingerprint. I dont carry keys, never need to in 12 months.

My previous car had a code pad on the door to unlock the door with. When we would go to the beach, we would lock everything inside the car, including the car keys, then enter our code to get back in. There are bound to be some other use cases like this for the fingerprint reader. (I still miss the code pad.)
