> Passkeys require a password manager

No, they do not. For the vast majority they will simply require using the two major closed OSes which desire to lock the user in. Importantly the OS layer is where they will first encounter keypass, and so that is where the vast majority of keypass will happen, which is as gp said, the lock in factor.

Advanced users such as that that browse this site, will make use a password manager. Due to the extra effort involved, such users are a minority.

iOS and Chrome (often on Android, but not necessarily) have built-in password managers. I use both! I believe Windows has one, too.

It's true that a lot of people who don't really think about which password manager they should use will end up using one of those by default. (Much like happens with web browsers.)

Getting the masses to use password managers regularly will greatly improve security. It would be better if more people made a deliberate choice, though.
