Not many people are implementing passkeys yet, and we don’t want to force that on users. Also, the plugins we provide are still tightly integrated with the framework, you don’t even need to install a separate package, just import them.

If you want to make a case for tightly integrated plugins, then why aren't Passwords a plugin?
Also, there's a huge gap between "we don't want to force that on users" and "we don't advertise it in our top-level marketing site at all". I can't be the only HN reader that is evaluating all libraries like this for Passkey support. It took me four or five clicks to even realize this library even supported Passkeys at all. If I wasn't curious about other Plugins I probably would have dismissed this entire library as outdated for lacking even basic Passkey support.
