I agree but keep in mind that this same principal applies to TouchID, which is what FaceID is replacing. FaceID is so much better than TouchID in so many aspects. Less false positives, it works even if your fingers are wet, and it's a natural behavior to look at the screen.

Both TouchID and FaceID is trying to protect from complete stranger. I know that with FaceID (if it does exactly what the video suggests) it will be a harder challenge to unlock.
