My company enforced 2FA on our GSuite accounts and discouraged using SMS for 2FA. Well, every year a new iPhone comes out, employees buy the new iPhone and factory reset their old phone. Now their 2FA codes are gone. Only recently Google Authenticator supported backing up to the cloud.

Trying to do 2FA correctly is one thing and trying to make your whole company do it correctly is a whole other challenge...

This is a poor choice of authenticator app. Bitwarden etc don't suffer from this.
