Can we have this but self-hostable and open source, please? Something like Bitwarden that you can stuff onto your own device? I know there are hosted services for handling auth on the server backend, but what about the other way around?

I use Krypton but that's not maintained (and already broken on some websites like Github). I trust the secure storage module of my phone and I trust my computer's TPM, unlike many other Linux users; surely it should be possible to integrate with the OS somehow to make it secure, right? The last example I saw used USB over IP to inject a virtual FIDO device, which works great, but the implementation is clearly not ready for prime time.

Yes, you can. It's an open standard. Bitwarden can (and probably will) just support it.
I don't see how that would work without integration into browsers.
It won't, there is integration into browsers for this right now.
