My password manager supports passkeys just fine, across Windows, macOS, Linux and iOS (and probably Android but I haven't tried). Surprisingly, iOS integrates with the password manager so it's usable just like their own solution and it works across the system (not just in the browser).

This seems to be more about finding a standard way to export/import between different password managers/platforms?

Correct. The spec is about making it easier and more secure to export your passwords and passkeys when you move from one password manager to another. People are misunderstanding this as some sort of federated authentication system to share your credentials between multiple password managers at the same time, which it is not.
