GP seemed to be talking about physical access.

How would passkeys stop them if they are are in physical possession of the device and can unlock it? It doesn't seem passkeys protect you more here.

I was trying to acknowledge that. Passkeys, passwords, same result if someone has physical access to your phone. The improvement is that passwords don't require physical access to your phone, there are other ways to steal those like with phishing or hacking a website that has a copy of a password that you reused. Passkeys solve that problem.
