Sure everyone has a house key because they only have a house at a time. I have 3 bank accounts, a few brokerage accounts, some pension logins on top of the regular stuff. I'm not going to carry 15 hardware tokens with me.

You only need one, plus a couple recovery spares, in any sane implementation.

SecurID tokens suck but with FIDO2, you'd only need one key.

Of course, that breaks the UX analogy of the house key.
