There's been a lot of pain in the attempt to portray it as "Just click the passkey button, and that's it! Your login is secured for life!"

No - Buddy. It is secured for this one specific device that I have biometric authentication for. What about my computer? What about my other computer that isn't on the same operating system? I have a password manager that stores these things, why didn't you save to that when I registered? Why is it trying to take this shit from my Apple Keychain when it's in Bitwarden?

And, the next ultra-big step: How would a non-techie figure this shit out?

I use both Bitwarden and Apple's native Passwords.app and just save a passkey for each app. Usually you can name the passkey on the website/in the app as well.
This is also the system I use when saving 2FA TOTP codes as well so I guess I'm used to it, but it makes good sense to me to have reduncancy in my password apps. Also I lock up *the apps themselves* with passkeys in the respective app for ease of use.
