Yeah, I think WebAuthn is fairly seamless. Ordinary users do not have to worry about certificates or anything. They just log in with their face, fingerprint, or a computer-local PIN.
I think what prevents wider adoption of WebAuthn is the fear that users are going to lose their phone and not have a backup authenticator. But, people probably lose their phone less often than they forget passwords, so I doubt it changes the support burden much.
