SQRL is indeed pretty similar to passkeys. It was just invented before passkeys (before WebAuthn even) and designed to work without requiring any new web standards or changes to the existing web browsers at the time.
That greater compatibility came with some UX trade-offs though. Now that passkeys exist and are widely supported by web browsers there's really no need for SQRL anymore; passkeys are a far more polished version of the same concept.
