A software implementation of WebAuthn requires a TPM module and to be honest I think privacy and user identification are more of a security problem on the web than being phished for passwords. The problem I see with Fido2 is that they consider a far too narrow corridor of threats.

Sure, for devices that need to authenticate themselves it is a decent or maybe the best solution. For me as a user? I am not convinced. It cannot compete with passwords.
