This is the obvious endgame. Right now you have people who will say that passkeys are unphishable so we should switch to them. When you point out that people will lose their devices and credentials they'll then tell you can just use account recovery emails to get back in. They actually argue you absolutely need an iron clad door with a guard employed by some one else to protect account on some random website (that the website decided was precious, not you) But that's OK because they left a same old shoddy back door open in case you can't get in. So why even bother? Because that isn't the point. The plan is to remove the back door after enough people are trapped, they just need to keep the screaming to minimum while they get everyone in there.
