The problem with Yubikey is that it doesn't have a good enough management story for broad use. I do use it for a few core sites (like GitHub) but if I lose a key I need to get a replacement and register that replacement with every site I have set up U2F 2FA on. This is ok with a few core accounts but doesn't scale to the hundreds of sites that I have an account with. I am sure to miss a few and then either I can't log in with the new key or get completely locked out when I lose that key and get a second replacement.
