As others have said, Apple devices can now br passkeys, which is just a new term for WebAuthn + FIDO support. The linked article is about logging into your Apple ID, so you of course want another key for logging into that. But for other sites that support FIDO2+WebAuthn, I believe an Apple device can already function as a security key.
