I have the feeling that’s because it’s a “best practice” and not a data-driven decision. Wouldn’t they have led with, “we’ve witnessed X attempts and Y takeovers in the past year, so we’re introducing new security measures aimed at…” To me, this seems like more frog-boiling authoritarianism “for our own good”, like the COVID lockdowns, censorship, etc. I’m tired of technology forcing me to do things “for my own good” — and I recommend against companies who engage in those policies. These are all the same arguments trotted out to justify Windows spyware and forced updates that routinely lag my computer for hours — because Microsoft knows better than me how to use my desktop and isn’t shy about pushing me out of the way to do so.
