You're 100% right, though I'm actually surprised that so many sites already support passkeys.
If passkeys is a good idea and consumers use them, then gradually sites will shift over. Changing how everyone in the world does auth is not going to happen overnight, or even in a year.
- PayPal only allows one passkey and don't support logging in with it on Firefox on Windows. You still have to use your password.
- Twitter only offers it if you pay for a subscription.
- Playstation Network doesn't implement usernameless, and still asks for your email to log you in with a passkey.
It seems like we still have some way to go before we figure it all out.
