Re: [webauthn] The standard is very web-centric, can be a bit confusing for app-only users (#2048)

This implementation is correct.

All WebAuthn credentials are scoped to a web origin. The Web Authentication specification only defines a Web Platform API. Native apps use OS-level abstractions of WebAuthn, defined by each app platform (e.g. OS). Those app platforms also handle mapping app identifies to web origins, typically using a well-known URL type construct.

How WebAuthn clients and authenticators display app-platform specific metadata (such as an app name or publisher) are out of scope for the Web Authentication specification.
