This sounds... totally normal.

Emphasis on "totally".

But I guess Google coming out with a cloud-based FaceID clone was just a matter of time...

apart from using just a vastly larger amount of 2D photos and more precise PI techniques, instead of that stupid local-only, small-AI-based, 3D-scanning technique that falls back to passwords...

eh, I prefer Apple as my good cop ever since I can afford Apple devices

Face ID is private on device. This is stored by Google and they will keep it longer if you "violate their policies".

The main threat, and this covers Face ID, is that law enforcement and ICE have a much easier time compelling these auth methods. The legal bar is much, much lower than passwords. You should always turn Face ID off when traveling, and ideally power off the phone.
