I guess the distinction might be: your fingerprints are physical attributes of your physical person. Your house & house key are objects / property owned by you.

So if you have a fingerprint smart lock cops don't need a warent to enter your house?

A phone is also property owned by you. Or by the company you work for, so it's not even yours.
