If you read the proposal carefully. this api is used to refresh/revalidate extremely short lived cookie. not replace cookie itself. Which you can already do with webauthn

Maybe there is an assumption that this is easier to push through for masses because the UX is better. (no phone, no physical key required)

Webauthn always requires a user presence check though.

Seems the whole proposal exists solely because they are unwilling to add a "silence" option to webauthn. I am confused about the decision though.
