that's not the point, passkeys are not vendor centric, they are a standard. you don't want to duplicate a passkey for the same reason you don't want to copy an SSH private key on multiple devices. it's a security feature that allows disabling the account access in case the device becomes compromised (lost, stolen, infected, etc.)

they are standard, but so did xmpp or many others before.

xmpp is still alive and is still an open standard

exactly, but are people using it outside of proprietary apps like whatsapp? not really that much.

no use in being open if in practice its still controlled by monopolistic corporations.

i could use chrome or android as an example too. are there people using custom roms or forks and exercising their openness? yeah, but not that much either.
