The actual implementation of password managers is really messy. Browser extensions that try to guess which field may or may not contain your username, copy the 2FA code to the clipboard in the hopes that you’ll easily be able to paste it on the next page… passkeys offering a standardized API to provide this information makes it worth considering alone IMO, even without considering the extra security compared to plaintext password.

These are all good things. Now, if I can just use it without getting locked into someone's walled garden, I'll be all-in.
