Not true John, the CTAP support that is current would support the web-view w/o any changes

On fido I can tell you that for security reasons U2F wont work from a web-view currently.

Once we move to Web Auth (Fido 2) where the OS provides a API for apps to call to get the token it will work but the tokens are audianced to the app based on its developer key and bundle_id so that a app cant ask for a token for a different site to do correlation. 

It is true that Fido UAF currently requires a web-view to work as the authenticator is effectively compiled in to each application, and that application has access to the private keys on most platforms (Samsung knox being the only exception to that that I know of where the keys are managed by a common API to hardware key storage, but they are scoped like U2F as well)

So for the most part it is true and that unless you use the browser to get the Fido token the audience is for the app.
Example  Salesforce creates native app that may use enterprise SSO via SAML, and the enterprise may use Fido as a authentication factor.
If they use the webview + fido API approach the app can only get a token for SalesForce based on its signing key.  It could fire up the web-view and do U2F authentication with the enterprise after Salesforec has redirected the user.  However it will give every enterprise a token audience to Salesforce with a salesforce specific key.   If there is a second app for say Slack if they do the same thing the enterprise would get a slack audienced token and a slack key forcing a separate registration. 

The recommended alternative is that the app use a custom tab for the user to SalesForce and that redirect to the enterprise.
The enterprise gets the same token/key with the correct audience from all apps on the device using the browser or custom tab. 
The user may not need to signin a second time, and if they do there Fido token will not need to be re-registerd.

The Fido API approach really only works for first party apps like PayPal if the the app is not doing federation and paypal is doing the authentication for there own app.

Token binding private keys have similar issues.   The pool of private keys will probably not be shared between apps, and not between the app and the browser (Win 10 may be an exception but it is not documented yet)

In the case of using AppAuth with token binding the browser maintains the keys so the enterprise would be able to see the same key and use the same cookies across all AppAuth Apps.

You can include token binding in your app, however the token bindings and cookies are going to be sand boxed per app.  
Depending on implementation the app gets access to the cookie, but perhaps not to the private token binding key.  (At least I don't think it will in Android embedded webview).

We could expand on this later in an update to the BCP once Web Authentication and Token Binding are final.

There are still some unknowns, but in general for any sort of SSO/Federation 3rd party app I don’t see recommending anything other than a custom tab/ view controller/ external browser.

William can take the formatting question:)
