Per this: https://www.slashid.dev/blog/passkeys-deepdive/

The private key is both kept in your phone’s Secure Enclave and stored in iCloud, so strictly speaking the implementation isn’t hardware-bound in that case.

But I think the intended point is something more practical: can you, as a user, export the passkey to be shared on your non-Apple laptop, phone, etc? And maybe I’m mistaken, but I’ve been under the impression that you cannot.
