Update: this method is being removed from WebAuthn in https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1936, but there's no reason I couldn't still add a method of this name to this project using the proposed getClientCapabilities() API that's being proposed in https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1923.

Is the return value going to be undefined when passkeyPlatformAuthenticator is not present in getClientCapabilities()?
