Living in South Africa, I actually turn off 2FA wherever I can. I use a strong random password per site stored in a password manager, but my phone number is controlled by a drone at a telco helpdesk which can easily be convinced to port my SIM to another.

SIM-swap fraud is super common here, so turning on 2FA actually reduces the security of my account.
