The trouble is, Apple devices, which Apple can update remotely and for which no one external can see the source code, are trusted. There's this one huge single point of failure.

Can you use this without iCloud? Can you avoid any iCloud involvement?

1Password supports passkeys. So yes, you can

So no, it seems you are locked in to the platform

Just add new passkeys into 1Password or Bitwarden or whatever else. Every site I’ve seen that allows passkeys allows multiple.

It really, really isn’t as big a problem as everyone seems to want to make it out to be.

Yes but can it sync passkeys created by Safari so that they are usable on Linux/Windows/Android?

No. You have to enroll the password managers independently.

Yes because you can use 3rd party credential managers that use passkeys.
