> similar while FIDO protocols and passkeys could have been designed in a way which can work fully stateless they are not

It's been a while since I've looked deeply at FIDO, but I think they would have had to make a handful of nontrivial security concessions to make WebAuthn stateless. One pretty important one that comes to mind is the token counter, which in principal enables RPs to detect a cloned credential.
