But that is the entire premise of Passkeys—they remove the complexity, because having individual passwords per device is clearly superior to user-bound passwords, if you don’t need to worry about it and it just works. Hence why, to stay with SSH, you shouldn’t use SSH keypairs, but certificates signed by a CA.
