What we have here is an implicit denial of Tradition. When have bishops done this in the past, smearing the chrism all over the recipient's face like it's a facial treatment at the spa? I can imagine Curly Joe or Larry in the Three Stooges or Lou Costello or Stan Laurel doing this. Then Moe would step in and slap their faces, or Abbot would crab at Lou, or Ollie would ask, "Stanley, just WHAT do you think you are DOING?!" And he would cry, "Wobobobobo, I was just doing this oiley thingy here......."
It's just another novelty. He has tried really hard to be a TREND-SETTER in doctrine but it's not quite catching on, so he's going for plan B -- new gimmicks in the sacraments.
In Argentina he sat by while dancers did the TANGO in the sanctuary. That was innovative. And then he was elected POPE. That was pretty innovative, too.
