If an "insecure" authenticator reveals itself at enrollment, the only "unevenness" is that attempts to enroll it might fail, perhaps with a request to use a securely attested authenticator instead - you would never be locked out from any service after the fact. This is better than "cloning" a supposedly secure device and then failing a count check while trying to authenticate.

Yeah; being told "you can't use that here" for some sites is a pretty uneven user experience, wouldn't you say? Not sure why the scare quotes are necessary here.
