> You seem tied to a narrative where a user can install a native app that gets permission to call core OS/platform APIs that let the app get all the public keys of passkeys on the device

yes? one of the main points of passkeys is that if your device is compromised: all your accounts aren't.

with your system, they are

> In reality, only the platform/OS and highly trusted actors/components that are already within the existing trust model

no, they aren't, if they were, the HSM/secure enclave wouldn't be needed at all

I've entertained this nonsense for almost 2 hours now, I'm done

the fact is, if the public key gets out, then your system is compromised

and I have shown you most (df not all) roaming authenticators have a way to enumerate public keys

as does every software HSM I've ever interacted with
