The problem is really how can we be sure that a device claimed to be a camera is really a camera and can be trusted? But yeah, as the device is already physically compromised, there is not much can be done in OS' perspective.

A "physically compromised" iPhone will still not let you in, no matter what devices you plug into it, including removing the camera module and replacing it.

I think this comment is being downvoted unfairly - yes, there are mechanisms to get into an iPhone with physical access (see greykey) - but those rely on leveraging a vulnerability to allow brute forcing the PIN, they do not break FaceID.
