That’s called phishing.
So, they're _NOT_ mine to take and manage? I do understand the need for the general population to have these bulletproof anti-foot-gun mechanisms, but, and I don't like having to export to an unencrypted file, but the point about being locked in & controlled by your password manager is still valid because, I don't think 1P or Apple Passwords will give me my passkeys outside of an Apple Approved transfer. If I, a sufficiently savvy user device that, I do in fact want to upload my passkeys to a sketchy website, that should be my own mistake. Computer should not say no.

@tay@tech.lgbt @rmondello@hachyderm.io there's nothing stopping you from transferring to an app that uses a file-backed database (like Strongbox which is recommended on the KeePassXC site as a compatible iOS client)
