Not really, they have no incentive to provide such a thing nor is it mandatory for them to do so.

Are you saying password managers don't have an incentive to provide a feature users want? That describes literally their entire featureset.

What incentive do they have to make it easy to migrate to a different provider?

People want the ability to back their passkeys up. The fact that this can be used for migrating is an unfortunate side-effect, as far as the provider is concerned.
