I agree - and that makes me wish that the messaging was more clear from passkey supporters. Some may be genuinely confused and talking about one or the other mode (or not even realize that multiple modes exist), and some may be trying to claim the benefits of one mode while/or handwaving away the tradeoffs of the other mode.

Passkeys are a trap, trying to lock users in to the service providers.
I did say I like and use 1Password, but I do remember that they switched from a one-time payment model to a subscription model, and have now stopped supporting the old software and only support their subscription software. If it wasn't for my non-tech-savvy, aging family I support their usage of 1Password for, I would still be on Keepass[XC] for my own private usage.

Plus the hotbar on mobile makes it easy to do bullets/checkboxes, as easy as typing on my computer keyboard.
Few links I found, for anyone else encountering this for the first time:

Anyone have suggestions for syncing/version controlling KDE Plasma 6 configurations?
(I made an Ask HN for it as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49910250)
ProtonDB is a site that aggregates reports from users of Proton, the compatibility layer to let Windows games run on Linux. For lots of games, users will submit reports of their system info (distro, CPU, GPU, driver version, Proton version) and any configuration they needed to do to get that game working on their setup. The usual solutions are switching the Proton version you use and/or commands you add to the custom commands in the configuration for that particular game in the Steam menu.
I just looked at Diablo 4, and specifically filtered for Ubuntu users; I see 22 reports, with the most recent ones being people saying it worked for them. There are also successful reports from people on Linux Mint, which is based on Ubuntu.
Karen Horney (20th-century German psychoanalyst) in her book "Neurosis and Human Growth" talks quite a bit about this failure mode. The relevant bit I want to share is her talking about how a person may be in a state of neurosis due to not feeling like they are living up to their idealized self -- and that a commonly destructive response to that neurosis is trying to force everyone around them to treat and perceive them as if they were that idealized self and not the flawed real self they are (regardless of whether the people around believe or are deceived into believing that, which is where she diverges from your point a bit but I think you're touching on very similar things).
