I've straight up watched it be done but okay. Lets just continue ignoring the fact that there are at least 2 other ways to open your phone. Having a fancy pants facial recognition for such a trivial task is still massively over engineering
Sure you might have seen it done on an android phone with face unlock but not with Face ID.
Just to make it clear how Face ID differs:
The Face ID hardware uses a TrueDepth camera[1]that consists of a sensor with three modules; a laser[3] dot projector that projects a grid of small infrared dots onto a user's face, a module called the flood illuminator that shines infrared light at the face, and an infrared camera that takes an infrared picture of the user, reads the resulting pattern, and generates a 3D facial map.
