What a foolish statement. Having a pin at all prevents a whole lot of attack vectors, even if weak. Like someone at random picking up the phone and getting personal information off it from any app lacking secondary authentication.
Having a weak pin won’t protect you from someone actively seeking to attack you specifically (a targeted attack). But most crimes are crimes of opportunity, not targeted, and any pin at all reduces the opportunity.
