Otp apps require a device or a token. Requiring this removes the ability for a user to get in if their phone is dead, or lost. The support burden is also higher for a reset. Nothing is a show stopper, but also painful enough to prevent wider adoption.
Back in the old days you used to get single use passwords for secure system. This creates a similar problem, where loosing the sheet meant you needed new passwords.
