Most (not all, but most) of the criticisms I’ve seen of passkeys are a result of people making incorrect assumptions about the problems they were meant to solve.
For example, to solve password reuse, weak credentials, phishing, and credential theft from server breaches, you need easy to use, convenient WebAuthn credentials. The convenient part is that they are available on all your devices via secure (E2E encrypted) syncing.
The linked talk covers all of this in a lot more detail.
