Activation lock is designed to prevent reuse of stolen parts like this. Don’t know how successful this is, what components it’s tied to, and it doesn’t work on older models.
I’ve changed out fingerprint scanners and mostly just peripherals like the speakers and jacks and things like that. The board itself is pretty much locked down with nothing you can replace other than maybe a few components like a capacitor or something and even now they’re becoming increasingly just disposable unfortunately

If you don’t contact Apple to get an official screen replacement for your phone it will automatically disable FaceID among other features.
Well that tracks with the devices becoming more and more disposable
