eh FaceID is more like a software feature rather than hardware, even a basic windows laptop these days have it

They have facial recognition, but Face ID involves a complicated array of sensors and an IR projector to create a 3D mapping of your face. Iirc, the module is fairly expensive to produce which is why we aren’t seeing it on more products.
