This is true, but EAP-FIDO is still not a free lunch:
- EAP-FIDO implies the existence of a web-service to perform the initial
registration
- That web-service needs to share state with the RADIUS server

Today's turnkey EAP provisioning solutions are not *conceptually* dissimilar
to this (often using self-signed CAs with EAP-TLS for mutual authn; and LDAP
to the Enterprise directory to authz the client cert's SAN). The onboarding
would just be transparent for an end-user because of the browser/OS/TPM
integration (so no "installer" to download and execute).

It would be very interesting if the initial registration could be performed
in-band of EAP (using WebPKI).
