Some password managers can sync passkeys for you! Bitwarden can handle it
android doesn't allow 3rd party apps to use passkeys nor autofill 2fa consistently. For passkeys, you are forced to use google services for it, or loose access, making it pointless. TOTP codes meanwhile can at least be copied and pasted manually from a password manager.

Actually not, 3rd party Android apps can act as passkeys providers
With Bitwarden you can even do your own self hosted sync of passkeys

Any app where it doesn't work has chosen to not use the right API
It's android version dependent. Only 14 and up support 3rd party providers.
Given the slowness of android version rollouts, this will be an issue for a long time.
I also think supporting older androids is pushing apps to do it the "wrong" way and making it google specific.
