Is this only implemented in Apple devices Or is it cross platform ?

Looks like it's "just" another authn method for using the phone itself (or more precisely, the "secure element") as a WebAuthn/FIDO2 dongle. So the specific UX is Apple-specific (although it could of course be replicated by others), but the API is generic (and already exists).
