Due to the screen not being as sensitive as a touch receiver, it cannot detect something as fine (in terms of size) as a fingerprint.

There is a reason Samsung and Sony and Apple and many more are using external sensors. Those aren't touch based, they have a different technology that allows them to see the tiny variation in the skin that makes out the fingerprint.

All of the apps who currently claim to scan your fingerprint don't. They detect touch and simulate a fingerprint scan, but it isn't actually scanned.

The screen is not sensitive enough for it to work like a fingerprint scanner. There is a reason there is a separate scanner for fingerprint on for an instance Samsung s5 and s6 and iPhone 5s and 6

As current phones touch screens are not as sensitive as fingerprint readers - you cannot do that.

Here is a great explanation how modern touchscreens works - it sheds more light on the topic that concerns you.
