Quoting from the article's update:

> I got a Nitrokey3 to use as a hardware token, and ended up not being able to access my country's e-gov facilities, because L1 certification required.

What will likely happen is that many services will only accept passkey managers that have been blessed by big tech and locked down to the user. You're not going to be able to authenticate with your bank using an open source implementation.

Level 1 (I think they're talking FIDO?) is the bare minimum level. If Nitrokey aren't certified, there's plenty of open and proprietary keys not owned by "big tech" that are.
