Gregory's Server(We can fight that war again and win, but damned if it's not harder now that DRM is just the norm, and user-owned devices are the rare exception.)

 To my lay understanding, that's what this shit with passkeys is all about: blocking devices and software that conform to a *protocol* but not to an *implementation*. |
As an example of the consequences of that monumental shift in what society allows to be "normal," to make DRM work even to some rough approximation, you need a way that a device can prove to a server what software is running on that device — so-called attestation. That fundamentally breaks the idea that it's the *protocol* between a device and a server that matters, not the *implementation*, and thus fundamentally restricts what implementations are possible.
