Unpopular opinion but correct the whole thing has been designed to lock you to devices they make and have themselves be the arbiter of your authentication.

If that wasn't the intent they could have make the thing work like ssh keys, encrypted at rest, you can take them wherever you want.

I don't think that's the unpopular opinion, I think that's the standard opinion, outside of the corporate security cloister.

It is not Apple's job to implement Passkey into Linux, that is up to the Linux community to build up and figure out, and then for Firefox to implement it on Linux. On the other hand, Chrome just works with it, so maybe Firefox either implements it for Linux in-house, or figures out an existing initiative they could invest resources towards and help to prop up so they can integrate against it on Linux.

My issue is not the lack of Linux support, my issue is the dependence on hardware components, that are distributed by a small group of incumbents, that is pretty much baked into the spec.

What they want is to lock your identity to your android and/or iphone devices.
