The post already has a poll...

 Apologies. I missed it.  It didn't show up properly when I accessed the page.

And you seem to have misunderstood the entire concept:

2FA is completely optional to the user (that’s literally the case with all places that have 2FA). So if you don’t want it it, you simply don’t set it up to your account... and hence there’s absolutely no need to worry about any extra steps that you’re referring to. 

I didn't miss anything.  I've been at the receiving end of 2FA before.  It has to be set up to have a choice in order for you to have a choice.  This happened at the end of last year with one of our sponsors, who set up a 2FA to apply universally.  I needed to submit a ticket for them to "opt" me out.

And as I described again in a response above, the security issue isn’t the VPS itself getting compromised. But rather losing your VPS through someone that has gained access to your account and is causing trouble with your username!

That hasn't happened before either.  

And also, i was never talking about my device getting compromised. Heck, I use an iPhone so that’s not even a thing. If your device gets compromised then not even 2FA can help you.

Correct.  2FA is in the same category too.  While I was going through this 2FA frustration last year, I did some research, and there are arguments against how supposedly good it is, which it isn't always.

I think 2FA has a good place when you are doing phone browsing.  Which I believe you are and others may too.  I'm not saying "no".  I'm saying I don't mind as long as I have a choice not to have to opt in with the system.
