1. They can lock you out of your google account and services you authenticate using login with google, but no more or less than they can lock you out without passkey authentication.
2. You may lose access as per #1, but no differently than if you lost access to your google account having used MFA or whatever other method to log in. It's completely orthogonal.
3. This is just wrong. The passkey is a cert which is used to sign something and send them the signature they can verify with the public part of the cert. They can't login as you. If you don't trust them not to backdoor the passkey itself during generation you can use a passkey generated by someone else.
4. You never had any recourse. This doesn't change that at all either way. It's a login methodology.
