This uses WebAuthn (https://webauthn.guide - https://webauthn.io). The video has a great description starting at 1:40.

Here, the iPhone functions as a platform authenticator, like a U2F usb/nfc key would. Why would they need to open source their hardware for this?

I was talking about face ID and how apple handles the data using secure enclave.
