In practice, all major implementations are already conforming, but it is nice to have the spec make this guarantee. Thanks to @michaelficarra for championing this change!
I put to paper an idea about how security keys can still be useful as passkeys move everyone to using platform authenticators in a way that disadvantages security keys:
