App security

I love Pixel phones, however, I wish Pixel gave you away to secure certain apps sort of like Samsung does with their Secure Folder or OnePlus even does with their app security.

Yes, that would be a good thing for pixel. Samsung secure folder is great!

I don't see the point of a secure folder if your phone is already secured with a fingerprint, face unlock, pattern or PIN

Because some of us work in HIPAA/PHI and PCI-DSS environments and that extra security on certain apps helps keep those accesses secured if someone else happens to use the phone.

Ok. That does make sense now.

But wouldn't those apps have robust security as well, requiring at least a password, if not additional token authentication or biometrics?

No since there is no specific app, this could be company emails, texts, remote desktop apps, ect... I'm not talking about normal banking apps and apps like my chart. I am an IT Director in the Health Care space. I deal with systems and data that have sensitive information.

Besides I like to hide all business apps behind that security for extra safe measures.

Oh I see, that makes sense now.
