FYI Yubico (who makes them) have devices compatible with each. You can technically use the passkey standard with a yubikey security key since it's all FIDO2 protocols, but it's certainly not standard
It's just a question of device bound keys (the default for yubikeys) vs platform / exportable keys (passkeys), but the websites can't tell the difference if you don't tell it
