I hope passkeys are the same as the USB-C rollout. The internet whines and complains for a few years about their theoretical device from 1999 that won't work anymore and then everything is just plain better for years to come.
Hah, I had the exact same reaction.
So many words spent on HN articles complaining about USB-C or praising Lightning... fast forward a few years to now and I legitimately just pack one cable in my bag and charge any device I happen to bring with me.
USB-C is great for charging, which is a huge win per se. Previous versions didn't have the amperage for laptops, and Lightning existed for control reasons. USB-C is not great for everything else.
