Doubtful. The average thief isn’t robbing you at gunpoint. They grab the phone out of your hand and book it.
But even if they did stick around for that, most people use a 4 number pin and that’s basically just as easy as face or fingerprint unlock. Its an additional maybe 2 seconds.
If they can force you to put your finger on the sensor they can force you to give them the pin.
Do any phones even allow 4 digit Pins? Apple doesn’t, and my Samsung doesn’t.
No one can force you to give up the PIN. They can threaten, and you may give in to that threat. But that isn’t forcing, that isn’t against your will.
But, a criminal can get you to unlock your phone with biometrics against your will easily enough - brute strength, render you unconscious, or even dead.
