Windows also uses infrared LEDs to light your face and prevent a flat photo from being recognised as a face.

Windows is an operating system and does not have dependence on specific hardware being present.

Incorrect. Windows Hello uses special hardware.

Right, Windows Hello requires it for facial auth, Windows itself does not. Hello still works, just you have to authenticate with a different method if the hardware isn't present.
