Apple buys companies at the same rate you buy groceries

That's not the same at all. With the fakes, you're creating a fake from something of the original. As for the password - you either know it or don't. So you're either providing the real password (stolen) or guessing... not the same.

Windows Hello is device only. Someone would actually have to steal your device, then fake your fingerprint for example. By then you could remote wipe it.
Your Microsoft account and all is totally separate from Windows Hello. You can also do 2FA with your online account.
