> The value proposition of a U2F device like the YubiKey is that not only must you have it present, it's not subject to the TOTP being disclosed like with tokens that require the user to enter a password into a third-party service which could still be a phishing page

Could someone shed some light on this? What is it that prevents a phising page from basically proxying the crypto challenge from the website to your key and present your answer back?
