Yes, but all this is following the same pattern as payments.

That is, the world is rather betting on "Apps" than the "Web" since latter is completely handicapped w.r.t. to keys.
With the removal of <keygen> the state of affaires got even worse.

Creating attested keys from the Web?  Of course not, you must write an App and develop a proprietary protocol to use such fancy features.
Wouldn't Android Pay benefit from attested keys?  Sure, but since Google is a super-provider a single hard-coded URL in an App works just fine.
