You can sync your vault between devices, but what's the point if the clients on those devices don't support passkeys? As far as I know, no KeePass app on Android has mature passkey support. That's not even mentioning more niche cases, like what if I want to log into a website in a browser on my TV? The cool thing about passwords is that they work on any device.
Also, remember when one of the maintainers of the passkey standard warned that KeePassXC users would get blocked by relying parties [0]? Would you allow tech companies to determine what password manager you are allowed to use?

KeepassDX has pretty good passkey support I think. At least, it works for me.

I'll give it another go, I found it buggy last time I checked, but that was a while ago.

I love KeepassXC, I use it for all my passwords.
However, I won't give it things which are meant to represent devices.
People who designed the 2FA model designed with the intention that a password is something you know and a device is something you have.
By putting storing both together you're breaking the assumptions of the people who design these systems.
So I store all my passwords on KeepassXC, everything else has to be elsewhere.
No need to be a part of an 'ecosystem' to use a password manager or passkeys.
