Passkeys remind me of ipv6 in that they are a "solution" coming from the supply-side, without (apparently) having done any research in what motivates actual users (and what would motivate them to switch).

  Nah, TOTP was like ipv6. Passkeys have their UI issues, but at least they had syncing day 1, so they're now a serious contender to SMS auth.
