You seriously overestimate the average user. There is a reason why 123456 is still a common password. I would not expect a grandma to know how to put a key on her phone and use it reliably.

And my main argument is that corporations can do better. We should not put the burden on the common folks when the ones who are in the positions to do something are not pulling their weight. Sure, this will reduce their profit, and probably their share prices, and as a result, dev's compensation. Maybe that is the hardest part to argue through.

If your grandma knows how to insert a key into a lock then she will be able to insert a key into a phone.

The more relevant problem here is what she does once she loses the key, or it breaks.
