Because, apparently, passkey evangelists are a cult.

The spec requires passwords to still be an option, they say, so there's nothing to see here, move along — and avert their eyes should an inconvenient argument come their way.

Because, see, we all know that specs are ironclad, never change, and are always fully implemented.

Also, putting all your eggs, ahem, passkeys into one cloud basket (as this article recommends) to "move around" is surely the most best solution better than passwords.

Because we can always trust the cloud, right? Not like it's somebody else's computer or anything, that they can instruct to not do what you tell it.

Anyway, none of the passkey lovers ever answered me what to do if my computer and cell phone ever get stolen again when I'm traveling abroad in the Brave New Passkey World.

The best answer I got was carry a yubikey with me at all times.

One more thing to worry about losing, yay. Much convenience, very security, wow.

If there are any new developments on that front, would love to hear them.
