Should I be using a passkey?

I saw all the hype about Google's new passkey rollout on Hacker News and Ars Technica in the past month, and have even read an article stating that, paraphrased, "I should start using passkeys immediately, even if the tech is not all the way there yet."

Some questions:

Are you using passkeys currently? Which provider?

Is there a fear of vendor lock-in (looking at you, Apple) or ditching the product in the future (looking at you, Google)?

Any other concerns I should be aware of, e.g. what happens if my phone gets run over by a bulldozer?
