Not sure if this just needs updating from a previous version of the module, or it's me not reading it correctly. But the README currently says this:

### Setting up image fields

Install the module as usual. On the "Manage Form Display" page (e.g.
admin/structure/types/manage/article/form-display) choose the Image (focal
point) widget for your image field.

This led me to believe I need to change the form widget to use the focal point one (rather than core's image field one).

Only once I dug into the code and looked the the FocalPointImageWidget class did I realise I actually had to use the standard image field widget.

You're absolutely correct that this could be clearer. That said, there is an effort right now to create a new widget for focal point so it will likely get fixed in there: #2701861: Create focal point specific image field widget

Now that the new image widget is committed, this issue is outdated.
