Re: [webauthn] Clarify browser behavior when an authenticators return equivalent of "InvalidStateError" (#1888)

Right, that is the logic for the current implementations, but it is only controlled by the authenticatorAttachment preference in the request. So this applies to requests where the user might do hybrid now as well. Hybrid flows are high touch, and it is unlikely that the user has alternative phones etc. to satisfy the request. So I don't think that "Try again?" logic is helpful for those users.

In comparison to those cases, we expect SK usage, and in particular users with multiple SKs to be rare. And the RP can equally help the user enter a try-again flow if they want as well.

So I think currently this behavior is not helping users overall.
