Same thing SSH keys give you what username + random password does not. Convenience.

But how much more convenient is it really? Filling out the login form with Bitwarden is a single hotkey: Ctrl+Alt+L. That's such a light burden that I'm having a hard time seeing the value proposition for users who are already on a password manager.

I can totally see the value for companies who serve users that don't use password managers—if you can get those people onto passkeys that's a clear security win.
