If the endgame of passwords is for everyone to use password managers for their passwords, and never to actually learn their passwords, then why bother with passwords at all? It seems to endgame would be for every service to give up passwords, and switch to OTP codes entirely. I'd prefer that world, honestly. Yet I haven't seen many people talk about the possibility, so maybe I'm missing something obvious? I don't know.

Exactly, they'll be a memory in 10 years. https://fidoalliance.org/passkeys/
