Perfect security leaves no room for user friendliness. The most secure system allows no users to use it. Only by reducing security do you gain user friendliness. The most user friendly (as in, triviality of use) system requires no security.
The art comes in when trying to create more usability whilst giving up less security, of course.
Passkeys are more secure than passwords. Thus, it's only natural they are less user friendly. If you don't "like" that, then stick to passwords. There's nothing to condemn, however.
The art side is where opinion lies.
So for most people on HN (who also probably won't be successfully phished) they offer only new problems, yet if implemented and used widely they're probably a net positive.
It's a bit like the Covid rules. I am more than capable of avoiding other humans without new laws, but "normal" people seemed to need a lot of coercion.
Personally I'll give it a few years and see how passkeys pan out before I switch (if I get the choice).
But the passkey crowd is overtly aiming at eliminating passwords.
We are screwed.
Well, then this culture needs to be condemned strongly.
