Sure, and then that one password is compromised.

Which means that entire service you used that password to login to is compromised. If you were using passkeys however, you would have nothing compromised.

so if a service is breached, you're basically as screwed with passwords as passkeys.

No… with a passkey you would be not screwed at all. You’d be entirely unaffected.

the security benefits are marginal in practice

I mean in your own example that’s a reduction of 100%. That’s kind of a huge difference.
