WebAuthn: Issue with Fido metadata?

Maybe I should rephrase the question.

I wonder if it's possible to use webauthn/MFA always even if the SP is 
not requiring that?

I was thinking this scenario:

If the user enters the SP the user gets the webauthn/MFA interface in 
passwordless flow. Enters the username and if the user does not have any 
passkey registered the user comes to username/password flow*if the SP is 
not requiring webauthn*, otherwise if*SP is requiring webauthn the 
resource is not accessible for the user*. If the user has passkey 
registered the login is proceeding in the usual way for passkey login.

/Regards Mats
