Compare this with status quo for users like my parents. They constantly forget their passwords and quail at screwing up the 2nd factor all the time.

If they could just use their fingerprint/faceID to login (after initial registration on the device) they would be super happy.

Rest of us should be happy there will be less exploits where people give up the keys to their kingdom by clicking on a random email.

Exactly what Google thinks: https://youtu.be/N7N4EC20-cM?t=15m36s

If you scroll back, they mention you have to protect everyone to be effective, i.e. high value target friends and family.
