IMO it’s well-suited to the general public!

What is the average person’s threat model? Re-using passwords.

What is their most common annoyance? They forget their passwords.

Built-in password managers are great for this. But they’re not universal (e.g. I believe using Apple Passwords on Mac doesn’t carry over to Android.)

Passkeys are amazing. They’re basically magic to the average person. No typing passwords; no remembering; simply vibing, securely.

I don’t think people are regularly logging in to a huge number of accounts on other devices. Maybe they are! I doubt it.
