One of the main reasons why I don't want to activate 2FA in my Google account is precisely because while I don't have highly sensitive data in that account, I do have lots of convenient things that I need in a day-to-day basis, so I wouldn't want to be locked out of my account. And 2FA provides more ways in which this can happen (for example, the smartphone with the authenticator program breaks). So now the option is either having the risk of being locked out because of 2FA, or having the risk of being locked out because of the AI being "angry" at us for not activating 2FA?

Ideally, it then becomes no less convenient than a password.
