The amount of open stuff that was migrated into the Play Services closed source blob over the years just keeps growing.

I still can't comprehend why they implemented FIDO/WebAuthn support in Play Services. Passkeys are extremely difficult to support in apps that don't depend on Play Services client libraries.
