What's better is you can use it with a different keyboard. Apple's external keyboards with TouchID are fine but they're not universally preferred. Some people want their longer throw clicky mechanical keyboard, some people want a particular keyboard layout that Apple doesn't offer, some people want their Kinesis Advantage for wrist issues, etc.
This is how FaceID works already on the iPad Pro. If you use it with a keyboard there's no TouchID on the keyboard. Any key press wakes it up and it does a FaceID scan to check who's trying to wake it up.
The part that isn't covered is activating FaceID other than on wake up. On the iPad it still has you double click the wake button, they'd need a button on the side of the monitor or something if keeping a separate hardware activation button is required.
