WebAuthn is a standard. From what I understood, can use any third-party authenticator like a YubiKey instead of Google's implementation.

That could work for the HN crowd, most people don't know about YubiKey. They will start using Google's implementation and realise too late that they're locked in.

You can, but most people won't because they will be locked-in, this is not the case with passwords as it's quite easy to change password manager without having to reset all your passwords.
