Indeed, Apple's passkeys are the in the field of heroic security while Google's is an evil play to take away users power.
The flip side here is that Apple gives a user near zero power in their walled garden, and is hostile towards anyone outside of it. So Apple passkeys can't take away user control because they never had any.

- admax88qqq 3y agoThat's not a statement from Apple. That's a statement from an Apple developer. And I have no doubt that he believes it and intends to implement it. But that's not a guarantee that the corporation around him won't decide tomorrow that they don't want to implement it.
- latexr 3y ago> That's a statement from an Apple developer. It’s a statement from the Engineering Manager of the “Authentication Experience” team. Ricky’s not a random unknown Apple developer, they’re someone with knowledge and authority on these matters. And as far as I know they’ve been reliable regarding what they share publicly.

That's Apple.
