Client Hints are definitely a step forward in giving RPs some influence over the UX.
The limitation, though, is that they’re currently treated as advisory rather than binding.

An improvement would be to make them enforceable in the spec—at least in the case where allowCredentials is empty, since that’s when discoverable credentials and authenticator choice matter most.
