They’re FIDO keys but bad.
Here’s a great blog post from someone who knows what they’re talking about: https://fy.blackhats.net.au/blog/2024-04-26-passkeys-a-shattered-dream/
Very enlightening read. That service lock-in is so real. I had some passkeys in Google Password manager (Android) just to try them out, and then wanted to move them to Bitwarden. I had already disabled Google Password manager on my phone to use Bitwarden. Imagine the headache I had to deal with to move a single passkey over to Bitwarden (really, I deleted one and added one, while dealing with UI hurdles). Until this improves (if ever), I'll probably stick to my passwords and normal 2FA.
