How does this address OP's concern? If you have a single device (e.g. an iPhone) and you store all your passkeys on it, then losing it means you lost all passkeys. Your post describes exactly that:

- "I can’t recover the keys if I lose the hardware"

- "That is a risk you’ll need to take if you’re using hardware authenticators"

Fantasizing that with this proposed simplification of the authentication process people will introduce complexities such as a password manager or a backup hardware device is naive to say the least.
