No, it's very much related, although not guaranteed.
The reality is that many passkey implementations right now come with attestation and are closed off. That's simply not possible with passwords.
Passwords, as a concept, just can't be abused in that way. Because they're just strings of text. Passkeys, however, CAN be - and we're already seeing that happen.
It could reverse course, but then it would need to reverse course and stay reversed. Forever. Even though there's lots of money and control being left on the table.
That's a big problem.

Well, not with only the password, but with the mandatory 2FA app that comes with it, it's definitely possible. Source: my company does that.
And you can most definitely request the real ID before you let someone create an account, password or passkey.
I don't see a difference.
