If you care about privacy then you care about security; if you care about security then why would you ever use a password again?
Security is a spectrum and not everyone has the same threat model. Also weaknesses that target passkeys might be useless for those who use passwords, and vice versa. And as another commenter said, you kinda lose the "something you know" when you're only using a passkey. Or you could use both if a service allows it.
