I doubt they really care at the end of the day. My Instagram username is three letters and I (used to) get 4-5 reset emails a day prior to turning on 2FA. I also frequently get asked if I want to sell the name. I'm just worried someone will get in and take it.

If you use SMS for 2FA there are numerous vulnerabilities. The Google Authenticator app is safer, unless Instagram itself has some sort of vulnerability.
