Can 99% of the Android devices out there even be trusted to secure these keys?
Google will need to make regularly audited secure processors mandatory eventually, if they actually want Android devices to be used as secure authenticators to all sorts of services and as "IDs" [1] in the future.
Poorly updated devices should be a no-go before they attempt to make this sort of use mainstream.
