TouchID was removed because it took up space on the front of the phone and Apple wanted the screen to be bigger. There's no deeper reason than that.

I struggle to believe you when you say that's a serious question...

> Im also concerned about the data Apple will collect.

The FaceID data will be stored in the secure enclave locally on your phone, just like TouchID data was. Apple will not collect it.
