2FA apps are a fundamentally broken auth mechanism. We just saw Microsoft's authenticator app inexplicably delete people's codes and lock them out of their accounts. And this is another example of how stupid the whole thing is.

It's all for theater.

You're speaking nonsense. If you use a bad app, that's on you. There are plenty of 2FA apps that work just fine.
