Imho WebAuthn is just the next problematic non-solution: Everything you do in WebAuthn you have to build up manually within the already-problematic forms+cookies+serverlogic+javascript stack. You cannot just instruct your webserver to do WebAuthn for /secret and everything works, no, you need tons and tons of code for it to work. Code that will have errors and problems. Code that is lots of complications on top of forms+cookies+serverlogic+javascript.

WebAuthn might solve a problem for the likes of Google and Facebook. But definitely not for the average web developer or server admin. And not for the user of some HTTP-based API. And the problem WebAuthn solves isn't really "we need better Auth", it is rather "we need better customer lock-in". Because the complexity and incompatibility of WebAuthn will just reproduce the debacle that was OpenID, only with the added "bonus" of being coupled to some hardware.
