How is opening your email program and instantly seeing the magic link email any slower than remembering your many social media logins (when they are not cached you are back to remember logins and passwords). When you forgot your social media password and/or haven't logged in on the device you need to reset your password. Then you have to check your email at least once to actually reset the password and then you have to update all your other devices with this new password.

passwordless ftw

You only have to remember one password: that of your inbox.

You can always add another factor like WebAuthn or OTP
