It has been built.  Google Password Manager has cross-platform
passkeys supported between MacOS, Linux, and Android platforms.
Bitwarden can also provide cross-platform passkey support.  So there
are Closed and Open Source solutions to this problem.

I won't say that the user experience is perfect (it's not), but it has
been built, and once built, it can be improved.
