Would be great if onlykey implements a true PIV feature with CCID (NIST SP 800-73 standard).

I recently regretted it in those cases:  
• Disk Encryption and System Login : OnlyKey cannot store disk encryption keys like a PIV-based smartcard for unlocking encrypted drives (e.g., with BitLocker)  
• logging into systems using smartcard credentials.  
• what about able signing emails S/MIME ? (not tested)
