Well, now I can't reproduce it. If memory serves, it allowed me to toggle the option, but it then prompted me to add a biometric unlock method. There was either an ok prompt or something similar that brought me to the Settings. I don't remember if it was all the way to the biometric options or not.

Now when I remove the credentials (fingerprints), the option is disabled.

I know that I was able to reproduce it at the time because I thought it was so weird that I had to keep trying it.

Now I'm wondering if it's possibly some confusion/mixup with work profiles and related apps.

I have applied a security update since I initially chimed in.

If it recurs or I'm able to reproduce it, I'll let you know.
