Current face unlock support is much lower security than what was provided for Pixel 4 face unlock.
Pixel 4 had dual infrared cameras + dot projector + flood illuminator which provided a more secure approach than a fingerprint scanner. Pixel 7 > approach is far worse, 8 not massively better.
Pixel 4 was very expensive partly because they added all that fancy hardware for very secure face unlock along with a tiny radar on the front (Soli) for motion sense features. These have never been made the standard since.
Where additional functionality doesn't improve upon the existing options such as a random 6 digit pin with secure element throttling and fingerprint biometrics will mean it will always be triaged.
