A major concern raised in the article is along the lines of "passkeys have technical mechanisms that may disallow use in future".
That ... doesn't seem like a concern unique to passkeys, though?
It seems more like a policy rather than a technical aspect.
e.g. A website might decide they will only provide services if you upload a photo of government ID, or pass a verification where you show your face.
If it's software running on someone else's computer, you don't get full control regardless.
The part unique to passkeys is that the ability to disallow use is already sitting dormant everywhere and literally just needs websites to flip a switch. The other things you mentioned would all take effort for websites to set up.
