Seems like the overwhelming majority of the listed sites require you to already have an account, then go to a difficult-to-find URL on a settings page, enroll a passkey, and then you can login with the passkey. So granted, a handful of sites support it, but I have trouble believing the Google number. Maybe that's including people using their device to sign into Google itself?
Putting myself in the position of a typical user, passkeys haven't "replaced" passwords until I don't have a password for Home Depot or what have you. Otherwise there's still a password I have to write down or remember somewhere.
I'm not even here as a hater - I do like the idea of cryptographic authentication replacing passwords - but I'm just saying I've seen zero real world uptake of this so far.
