The facial unlock is more intrusive specifically because of privacy concerns. If you meant "easier to use", maybe. Though I never had any difficulty in finding the fingerprint sensor on my phone, usually in blind mode as I pull it out from the pocket.

Face detection doesn't need remote access... especially with every phone having an AI chip built in.

Your phone still has a complete recognition model of your face, and we're required to trust the vendor when they say it doesn't leave your phone.
