GitHub doesn't need to know that - I think that's why it's a bit of a cop out for MFA. Sure, your bitwarden may implement MFA, but just a chrome browser isn't MFA.

Passkeys enable sites to offload the responsibility of securing accounts to the user, and if the user chooses a weaker way to implement them, GitHub doesn't give a fuck.
