It seems to me like those who like passkeys/consider them simple are those who entrust all their credentials to proprietary cloud software vendors that sync them to all their devices.
Those of us who are not comfortable with that and want to keep our credentials offline and sync/backup them ourselves have questions about how the registration/backup/sharing flows work exactly.
I see this as part of a trend together with remote attestation, age verification, CSAM scanning, restricting sideloading, etc that will lead to most interactions over the internet only being allowed if big tech and/or government can verify the participants, the contents, and the hardware and software used.
Even among techies, many support these developments, so it is just a matter of time before we have no choice but to join the former group.
