You only do it if you want to. You can put your passkey in keepassxc or 1password or bitwarden or google's password vault or any other cross-platform passkey platform.

It's only a problem if you pick a platform that locks you out, even then there's workarounds. It's not a replacement for logging in every day, it's more a replacement for typing over the 64 character random password from your phone's password manager on the library computer.

It's easy to install Chrome on most devices and even iCloud Passwords has an okayish and getting better Windows app today that works in supported browsers. (It would be nice if it also acted as a Windows-wide plugin for Passkeys, but it doesn't yet today.)
