You are selectively ignoring the features of passkeys that don't fit your chosen conclusion. Yes of course passkeys come with some lock-in risk. Most technologies do. But compared to the status quo they give us new freedoms and less lock-in.
We don't live in world of memorable passwords ("abc123") or post-it notes or even password managers. That world has long been replaced by a dependence on SIM cards, big tech OTP apps, proprietary banking apps and worst of all social logins. And all of it is tied to oppressive mobile platforms.
You portray passkeys as another brick in the big tech lock-in wall. I totally disagree with that. Anything that frees us from dependence on mobile platforms and phone numbers is a net win.
