YES. This exactly. I work across multiple devices, some of which are nonstandard/uncommon (Linux, Xiaomi China ROM, ...) and I've NEVER had passkeys work properly - yet everything constantly prompts me to add one. Even if they did work, I'd have to carry around hardware keys or register each computer separately. And the lack of backups if a device is lost/broken is definitely a larger concern for me than being phished of my TOTP keys.

That's not accurate. Bitwarden syncs passkeys across all my devices including both mobile/desktop (iOS/Android/MacOS/Windows/Fedora) using Chrome/Edge/Safari (I haven't tried Firefox).
KeepassXC is an open source alternative for cross-device synced passkeys. Marginally less secure than device bound passkeys but it's seamless and I save so much time now being able to login with one-click everywhere instead of wasting it on arbitrary "let's make sure you're you" MFA nonsense.
