Annoyingly, Google doesn't actually support app-specific passwords for accounts that don't have two-factor authentication enabled. So for use cases that require a password (eg SMTP), there's literally no other option available.
(Yes, 2FA increases security, but if someone doesn't or can't have it enabled, for whatever reason, that's no reason to prevent them from using app-specific passwords)
