Yes. For example, when upgrading or reinstalling a system

`scp -r`

And you have full access to ~/.ssh and you can move copy update rename delete them however you like. Without a "Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP) and Credential Exchange Format (CXF)" to move between blackboxes of third-party providers

I think this comes down to me never having wanted to do a copy or move (I create and maintain new keys when I create new devices) which is exactly the same experience i get with a passkey (and is, generally a more secure experience since my keys cannot be exfiltrated since copying them is implicitly verboten).
