Apple has very good support for Passkey storage in third party password managers/wallets. They don't seem to want Passkeys to be a lock in. They've also made it clear that they see attestation as a consumer privacy violation and won't support it.

I'm trying to get a source on this but failing, do you have a link or some wwwdc sessions where Apple detail their stance ?
This is some of my notes from the last time this came up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43988852
Thanks a lot !
I see your angle, but would take their comments more at face value: their concern is really sync, anything privacy probably being the nice side effect.
Sync has been part of their strategy for a while now, from revamping the whole iMessage stack to allow for sync, to their work on eSim etc. so the move doesn't break with their recent trends either.
