If the only thing you need from a smartcard is ssh, and you do not need to convince others your public key is really yours, then FIDO2 ssh is great.
That said, if someone is to add my key to their server, exporting my ssh key from my published, and well signed PGP keychain is the easiest way to form trust they got the correct key.
Also you cannot do things like file decryption or signed commits with a fido2 device. Since virtually every developer (imo) needs those coming from a hardware anchor, and they require PGP, might as well use one spec that does everything and publishes one public keychain for others to trust.
