The Android implementation allowing for multiple third part passkey providers (typically, existing password manager that want to support passkeys) is in beta.
Apple does not pre-announce features, so we are all likely in the dark on their timelines, and whether their timelines extend to infinity.
However, I believe a passkey manager can replace the system implementation via the web extension mechanism in mobile Safari today.
