These gaps would be obvious if services displayed all their authentication options completely in some graphical or table form. I personally would like a logic circuit diagram showing eg:
(password AND SMS) OR (password AND app) OR SMS --> Get in!
Then it would be obvious that the password is sort of redundant and it's really less secure than 1FA. It would also be clear what you have to lose to be locked out yourself. Only having 2 factors is not great because that's twice as many ways to get locked out. You really need 3 or more but it's never clear if that's reducing security to 1FA level or not because they don't clearly show you what the account recovery options are.
