I am one of the Co-founders. We have heard from members of the FIDO2 community who are closer to Apple that this will probably happen. You are right that Apple could also be positioned more as a password manager on other platforms; we have considered this. However, this is not how most people currently perceive it.

Google releasing this functionality to production is relatively new for those outside the passkey community, although it is not surprising when following Chrome Dev.

Overall, the tendency of Apple and Google to focus on passkeys for consumers and make them accessible is an interesting angle. In our blog, we frequently discuss password managers; in fact, we are also 1Password customers. Passage is a part of 1Password that operates in the same field as we do, likely because they recognize a potential threat from Apple and Google in the consumer space.

For companies implementing passkeys this is quite a significant change, because now a Chrome can carry a passkey that used to be a cross-device case before. The ecosystem is getting more complicated...
