What's the difference between using this and having my password autocompleted by my password manager and then getting prompted for Windows Hello? I've had this setup for months now, and I don't see how removing the password factor from here will be better for me than having 2FA with Windows Hello, or my android phone via the QR thingy or an actual key such as Yubikey.

I don't think passkeys are for password manager users, but rather people who are tech illiterate. The problem we're seeing now is that passkeys are confusing as hell for non tech people, the target audience. A period of transition is bound to happen.
