> And as a user, I don’t trust Apple's or Google's sync backends enough to store my most important credentials there I'm not sure everyone realizes that you don't get a choice whether or not Apple passkeys are synced to iCloud, you can't create a passkey from Safari unless iCloud syncing is turned on. Regardless of whether or not there's support for exporting/importing, you should as a user have the option to not send your passkeys to iCloud. That is a completely reasonable ask. There's really no system where synchronizing to the cloud and syncing between devices/ecosystems ought to be required for the user. I want users to have that option and I have some disagreements about whether services should be able to block it, but I do want it to be an option rather than a requirement. My guess is that Apple is worried people will turn off syncing without knowing the implications, but... it should still be the user's choice. It's completely legitimate for someone to be annoyed about forced sync.
