Webauthn and WebUSB UIs are very different. Additionally, Chrome has banned WebUSB from claiming Security Keys.

However, it remains the case that if the user downloads and runs exes, or otherwise grants the attacker direct access to the Security Key, then they can ask it to sign an authentication request for a given website. Such an attacker could also compromise the browser and wait for the user to login themselves etc.
