The biggest issue I've seen organisations facing with PassKeys is that neither iOS or Android require biometrics to unlock one - this seems like a massive drawback.

Most apps wanting extra authentication implement biometrics which fall back to an app-specific knowledge based credential like a PIN or password. As far as I can tell, PassKeys on those devices fall back to the device PIN which in the case of family PCs/iPads/tablets is known to the whole household.

I've seen several organisations give up on them for this reason.
