One way that almost any biometric security is better than password in "everyday" usage is that there are so many scenarios where people are around you when you enter a password, on your phone, padlock, laptop, ATM, debit card purchase etc. I see people entering their passwords all the time. I don't pay attention to their passwords, but most people around me are careless or trusting enough that I suppose if I wish I can acquire their codes over half of the time. You cannot do that with biometric.
Yes, customs officers cannot force you to enter your passcode, but guess what? There are already multiple occasions where a camera overhead has captured your code when you entered it -- in the airport, on the street, in a mall, in a retail store, etc. When I used to use a passcode on my phone, I would deliberately turn the phone away from people if they are right next to me. I no longer have to do that with biometric. Whether face or finger is fine with me as long as it works smoothly.
Of course there are cases where passwords might be better, but I am saying that in "everyday" usage, biometric is better in many cases, and certainly in my life.
