I'm lost on this - is this better than GPG?

They are really satisfying when they work. I have been impressed by how well they work cross platform in the new bitwarden. It even worked from Android one time with a key made on windows! However, I dread when my mom tells me she needs help with an account and I can't do anything because the key is on her iOS Keychain I don't have access to

What is the difference between a crypto wallet and a passkey?

Is it just that a passkey has less functionality (and therfore better usability)?
