If they can be moved, they can be stolen. This'll boost acceptance, but also open a can of worms.

An argument can be made that a weaker security option that is used by more people is better than a stronger security option that is used by fewer.

Passkeys come with enough friction and hassle that I don't actually use them. The ability to move or back them up removes one of the friction points.
