For the general public, they already rely on either Google or Apple for pretty much all of their digital life. Nothing wrong with extending this to passkeys, it's convenient and makes sense for them.
I don't want to use a Yubikey. It's a pain in the butt. I just want to use my Mac, with no more damn dongles.
Keepass is a vendor, and one who doesn't even have a Safari extension.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with extending this to passkeys. The problem is the lock-in, e.g., Safari requires iCloud keychain for passkeys, but not for passwords. And there is no plaintext export/import, unlike with passwords.
Nobody can convince me that passkeys are good when I buy a Mac and use the built-in Safari but can't even use passkeys to log in to websites unless I give my passkeys to a cloud sync service or have to install some third-party "solution" (for a problem that should not exist in the first place). That experience is so much worse than passwords.
No, this is a passkeys problem. Safari does not force lock-in of passwords.
Why in the world would I want to ditch my web browser just to use passkeys? I'd rather ditch passkeys.
Repeating this doesn’t make it true. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationserv...
All of the 3rd party credential managers I’ve used that support passkeys work with safari, and through the APIs that Apple offers the credential managers you can even pick your default CM and never think about iCloud again…
