This is time sensitive. The criminals would lose too much time doing that. At least for the “criminal use case “ in Brazil, where they want to quickly access your bank app, this wouldn’t work.
Yes, as long as you know your phone was taken, and you immediately use someone else's phone to mark your as lost (or wipe it), you can probably beat them to it. But if your phone was stolen while you were at a movie theater, for example, you might not notice until it was too late. At least there's a 1 hour delay + biometric requirement for certain changes.
