I haven't paid much attention to the passkey journey.

Why would you sync a passkey, rather than create a separate one for each device? Seems risky if it's compromised?

I don't; I use Yubikeys so each passkey is unique.

But I was assuming that the TooBigTech implementation was somehow sharing the passkeys?

convenience. They judge that people using synced passkeys is better than people finding passkeys annoying and not using passkeys at all.
