They inevitably didn't write it for that reason. They wrote it to say the field is invalid until the user changes it to be valid after someone landed on the page holding the enter key down and instantly locked themselves out after submitting the form 50 times in 3 seconds.
Unless you know otherwise, it's easy to think that "form interaction" is the same as "form changed", and one of those is much easier to check.

I'm unsure what you mean about passkeys. I don't think I've heard anyone mention significant concessions to os makers and I'm pretty tuned in on the topic.
