It's also stupid because most people already have a bank app as 2FA so they could just make approve payments there. And this functionality exists or at least existed but I can count the number of times I have seen it on one hand. Instead my bank went back to randomly denying transactions based on questionable heuristics.

In my experience that's how 3DS actually works though, you have 8 minutes to approve the transaction in your bank app and your bank app usually has it's own security to actually access it to accept the transaction
that's how it works in my country, though there are no denies, almost 90% of transactions over 20-30$ will require I go into my bank app and confirm it.

rarely a big transaction will go through without 2FA but I've never had a transaction declined outright without first asking me to 2FA from the bank app
