The problem is not that biometrics are leaking from my device. The problem is that faces are already on the social media. And that the biometrics of the face can be reconstructed extremely easily and at scale.

But if this is used only to unlock the trust zone/secrets, I guess that works. It seem to be extremely dependent on the device not getting locked up accidentally, lost or damaged. If a damage would lock you out from all of the accounts, this seems rather drastic.
