Excuse me? The infrastructure for "an apps is trying to login with a private/public key pair, and right now it needs the private key to encrypt some part of the transaction" has existed on Linux since it began.

The problem, as best as I can understand it, is that some/all browsers are not treating passkeys as an extension of the key system that began with ssh(1), even though technically speaking, they are.
