Opening the lid on MacBooks should be the trigger for Face ID.

That wouldn't help with people who already have the lid open nor would it solve the issue of confirmation for Apple Pay and others. It also wouldn't be a solution for the mini, Studio, PowerMac or iMac.

Further, it doesn't solve the hardware issue of the component being too thick for the lid nor does it solve the main issue for why the iPhone went with Face ID.
