That's not entirely true either, though. Biometrics cannot be revoked but they don't need to be. Biometrics are just using your face/finger/etc to provide a basis for which to verify identity. If someone is able to fraudulently unlock FaceID on a consistent basis, then Apple just needs to change what information is being generated or secured. Infrared cameras and dot projection offer so many different variations of how that information can be used that the only way someone could break the security permanently would be to make a copy of your face 100%. Just because a specific infrared dot pattern of your face is copied doesn't mean that every dot pattern or feature of your face is useless. Maybe the next iteration of FaceID will also count the pores on your face or the number of hairs. A fingerprint/face cannot be revoked but the method of detection/recognition can be both revoked and changed.
