This is the best primer that I've found: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/10/what-passkey

The main advantage is that, like hardware security keys, they're immune to Man in the Middle phishing attacks, but are far simpler to use so should hopefully see much more widespread use.

The phishing protection is still very valuable. Also presumably you'd protect your Bitwarden account better than any number of random sites.
