> if you ignore edge cases (eg. how to recover if phone breaks)

I really see this language around passkeys a lot.

How is losing your phone, phone breaking, etc considered an edge case?

It’s common enough that Apple has a whole app called Find My.

Phones falling into toilets led to a whole meme about putting them in rice to fix them.

And even before Find My existed as an app Apple had equivalent functionality available online within a couple of years of the iPhones introduction.
