If they are exactly like SSH keys, then why not just keep using SSH keys. Clearly, there is something else to them.

SSH keys are clearly not a feasible authentication method for non-technical users. Passkeys are here to replace passwords, not ssh keys.
I understand this, but the person who responded said Passkeys are exactly the same as SSH and used the same, when asked what they are. If that was true, then we would just teach non-technical users to use SSH Keys.
