If you compromise the screen you could compromise FaceID. It's apparently something the iFixit and reporters refuse to understand.
Apple's biometric security (FaceID) requires a guarantee that components in the path are not tampered with.
Maybe this is the point at which the cost of FaceID and biometric security on your phone becomes too high. I don't just mean money $$ cost, I mean that the device itself becomes a liability if only Apple can service it. The convenience of unlocking a gizmo with my face would never be worth that to me.
