I don’t think the problem is that everyone is treating it like an enterprise customer solution. I think the problem is that everyone is trying to play the “capture user credentials to lock them into our ecosystem” game. That’s why 1Password, Chrome, and Apple all want my passkey every single time.

passkey is imho one of the most important security developments that touch consumers and also one of the worst consumer rollouts i ever witnessed because every company involved treats everything like an enterprise customer solution

The UX for passkeys got completely bungled as everyone started to support them, because no one thought about how their support would interact with every other component that supports it. It could have been so much better than it is.

Though I also think that Amazon prompting me for a passkey as soon as I hit the homepage is also an insane design decision. Just because passkeys are available doesn’t mean you should remove a user’s intent to login. Let me AT LEAST hit a login button before you prompt me for a passkey.
