The Passcode to your device is what authorizes a person to use your device and that includes making purchases. You need to be proactive with your responsibility of how you handle this personal information. The iPhone is a single user device where you are entirely control of who has access and responsible for their actions. There are measures that can be taken to restrict purchases on your device using Screen Time, but they must be used by you. Some examples of those can be found here:

• Require a Password (instead of Passcode) for purchases
