Google's Advanced Protection Program [1] meant for high risk users (journalists, activists, etc) requires you to enroll at least one hardware token, so they do recognize that as a risk.
It is good what they this program, but I'm just another Average Joe.
I have everything on my phone, I have 2FA on my phone, so if I lose it AND I can't restore my SIM/phone number - even knowing a prroper password for the account I can't do anything to restore the access.
And I really, really don't want to provide my government/country ID to some American company beforehand.
