FWIW, you don't need to be in the Apple ecosystem to have features like having a secondary device auto-unlock your laptop or desktop. Windows has supported a paired device unlocking your user account for a while now, and it does not have to be a manufacturer specific device. Logging in with devices like Yubikeys is also a supported login method.

That's fair! I guess a side-effect of being locked up in one ecosystem is that you only rarely notice what's happening in others.

I feel like that only furthers my original point though. I didn't want to argue that Apple does it best, only that you can enjoy their devices without being fully bought into the ecosystem.
