Correct. The best part of this system (Keychain Access) is that it has been around for more than 20 years. Only this year it got a UX makeover.

One interesting thing I noticed is that Chrome and Firefox can also seamlessly see and use Passkeys I stored in Safari even if normally they don't read the passwords from there.

Using each passkey however still requires a fingerprint every time.

Passkeys are a different story than the keychain more generally. Other browsers that work with passkeys via the system APIs had to jump through hoops and get Apple's approval to do so: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/en...
