This would be less annoying if we could get actual federated identity that big players would actually accept, as it stands having to fetch a key from a safe deposit box every time I register a new account is a huge amount of friction.

It absolutely is. But that’s a separate problem entirely from “will Passkeys lock me in to the Apple ecosystem”, to which the answer is an unqualified no.
Microsoft is a big player and here you go: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad...
I currently have a Microsoft (Work) account that I'm SSO logged on.
To be clear, I was referring to one federated identity that everyone would accept, as it stands there isn't a single, federated identity provider that Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Bank of America, my power company, etc and so on will all accept. I'd like to secure one spot on the internet as an identity, a digital passport of sorts, and secure that heavily then have it log me in to everything. The closest thing we have currently to a digital identity is an email account, but we should really move past that.
