True for PayPal though. I just recently had to jump through seven different hoops to verify my ID (with creepy, creepy face scans) and they absolutely refused to even start the process on desktop. Eventually got the stupid thing to work on my iPad; Android+Firefox was a no go, and it's stock Pixel 5a with Google OS.
Thankfully I don't actually rely on PayPal for anything serious, but there are artists whose commission I like to pay, and being able to actually pay them would be nice. :/
For logins, at least, they support passkeys on the desktop as well, so long as the browser does it. Which basically means Win11 or macOS, either some Blink-based browser or Safari.
I use my yubikey on both my android and linux (tumbleweed) with exclusively firefox, I have not found something that does not work.. Maybe you mean non-hardware passkeys built into the os? But one could just use keepassxc or like bitwarden, those work in Firefox and Linux as well
I mean, I'm sure it's true for some banks or financial services, but that's not really the same thing.
