It's theoretically possible to bypass the secure element throttling and brute force a basic lock method such as a random 6 digit PIN but that's not happening with modern iPhones and Pixels in practice right now. If you want to outright avoid that possibility then you can use a strong passphrase. It's far more convenient to use a strong passphrase on GrapheneOS where you can combine it with 2-factor fingerprint+PIN secondary unlock. GrapheneOS also protects better against exploits.
