I’m surprised the setup process for every new iPhone still asks whether you want to use FaceID with a mask when 99+% of people aren’t wearing face masks any more. There are lots of features that a small percentage of people use, but they don’t get asked in the device setup process.
@gruber multiple reasons to stick to it now: masking, any fashion choices that limit visibility to the face, with an additional point of comparison for every scan as there will be 2 faces to match to.
Maybe the wording could seem odd, but the reason for it makes perfect sense, just like Touch ID allowed for multiple fingers.
