Hi there, Chiming in from Google. This has nothing to do with our level of motivation (which is high btw). This has to do with OEM burned-in images on Android devices that have already shipped and the lifecycle of these devices out in the field. Without going into too many details, in order to not lock users out of their devices, we cannot switch u2f register to webauthn create() until there is sufficient churn in Android devices. You can expect webauthn get() to come much much sooner, as that is not impacted.
Again, this is only happening because of how the code that adds accounts is burned into certain devices. There are not any other websites, that I'm aware of, that are in a similar unfortunate situation. And so I'm hoping (and strongly believe) that this move would not encourage more usages of u2f (over webauthn).
