Not quite thought through
"When the biometric card is placed into a retailer's EMV terminal, the owner will be able to place their finger on the embedded sensor."
Except in the many terminals which don't leave that part of the card exposed.

"Wasn't this exactly what PIN codes were supposed to prevent?"
Yes. PINs are actual two factor authentication - something you have and something you know are required for a transaction. Unfortunately many people seem to get stuck at the "two" part and think that just having any two things involved means it's 2FA. In this case, it's simply something you have and something else you have, which can therefore be compromised by taking them both at the same time.
