I don't think that's a good idea. What about the majority of the phone's use when it's not showing someone's face? What about when the person moves their head and the whole frame has to pan?

Not to mention having a hole in your screen when you just want to watch a video. It's a ridiculous idea, but funny to think about.
More seriously, I'm wondering if at some point the front-facing camera may be an intrinsic part of the screen. I've read that on-screen fingerprint sensors already use a kind of camera in the screen. If that were to become good enough to see images at a distance, that might actually work.

Both Xiaomi and Oppo shared videos of the in-display cameras working, but the videos are too low quality to make any kind of image quality determinations.
That coupled with a lack of even controlled lighting, best case sample images probably tells a lot about the image quality.
