You can allow multiple attestations GUIDs (AAGUIDs) if you want, you're not limited to the larger hardware providers (ie: Yubico).

So far the only place I encountered this is within our Microsoft Entra setup, where we have to option to allow all types of Passkeys (hardware-backed, cloud synced, non-attested, etc).

Also in some scenarios you might be required to limit the enrollment of Passkeys on hardware devices that are FIPS-compliant. Having a list of AAGUIDs to enforce this makes sense.
