The W3C publishing ethical web principles is like OPEC publishing ethical climate principles.
Who are the members of the W3C?
Google,
Facebook (Meta),
Amazon,
Adobe,
SoftBank,
Yahoo!,
…
The W3C is the standards body of surveillance capitalism.
Ethical principles? W3C? Don’t make me laugh!
If they had any ethics they’d have expelled their most prominent members starting with Google and Facebook.

W3C TAG Ethical Web Principles
The web should be a platform that helps people and provides a positive social benefit. As we continue to evolve the web platform, we must therefore consider the consequences of our work.www.w3.org
But, hey, I might be wrong and the #W3C now fully believes in its new ethical web principles. In which case, they will no doubt take action and expel members that only exist because their business model relies on violating them.
#Google is fundamentally incompatible with the W3C’s ethical web principles and should be expelled from the W3C as it relies on violating section 2.5 (The web must…respect people’s privacy).
Also, §2.2 (The web should not cause harm to society).
Ditto #Facebook, etc.

The ability for people to use their created/associated key material to sign and encrypt their communication would be a huge boon for decentralised web applications. And yet, of course, the related W3C groups reject the use case. Because allowing people (instead of the corporations the W3C represents) to control their own identities is anathema to Big Tech.

Can the private keys be used for other cryptographic operations? · Issue #1595 · w3c/webauthn
For example, can they be used to sign and encrypt data the client passes? This goes beyond authentication, so it may be fair to consider it out of scope, given that "authn" is in the spec...GitHub
(Don’t forget, the W3C is the standards body of surveillance capitalism.)
In a non-corporate world, your “password” could be so much more… It could be, for example, a mnemonic for the key to a facet of your self that you (and you alone) own and control.
