Don't those settings reduce the security? If not, why aren't they enabled by default?

I should add that, in the general case, FaceID works well enough. I'd say it's better than touch id on my iphone 7.

Perhaps in some theoretical difference but I've never had anyone else get into my phone so... shrug. I trust Apple enough to beleive they would not have shipped (and continued to support) the feature if it was actually a reasonable attack vector.
