While true, it still means you're locked into only being able to log in from a browser that has the password manager extension installed and logged in. Sometimes I want to log in from another machine, or another OS, or another browser, or even an incognito window that doesn't have access to my extensions.

You can do that without an extension. There's a bunch of different protocols that let you, for example, use your phone as the authenticator.
You can log in with your phone on a computer you've never used before by scanning a QR code and credentials never leave your device.
