This could not be a more picture perfect example of a Wirth-suboptimal engeneering decision as per the article if it were designed for that. The amount of slowdown to run to the emails, wait for reception, open, copy, paste instead of using the sensible flow of password manager integration is huge. But people will use wasteful processes if they just don't need to change them, so what are you gonna do?
well, yeah, I mean a local 2fa code app (or integrated passwd manager as you say) is definitely simpler. the "just enter an email and paste in the code you got emailed" is the most foolproof because people don't lose access to their email nearly as often as they lose their phone (2fa app) or forget their password. /shrug
