Wrong.
As article points out, it's not having access to their account.
Followed by not being able to easily delegate access to their account to a trusted third party (like a spouse, a friend).
Password reuse addresses the first problem, however imperfectly. Ability to share password over any channel, including analog, addresses the second.
Passkeys defeat both.
