Not really.
- Email deliverability is a serious issue - some well-known providers (Apple and Microsoft) can delay email up to five minutes because they're scanning it, and that's assuming that it didn't went to spam. Compared to 2FA login, that's an eternity.
- Also, speaking of scanning emails, some do "click" them to check that it's not a harmful page (Microsoft, Google Workspace if admin enabled it, Barracuda which is common on enterprise), rendering the link invalid.
- Not everyone keeps their email logged in (or uses a different app/client to keep them logged in), which results in worse experience.
- Most mobile email clients (Mail on Apple, Gmail, Outlook) by default launch a different window, meaning you're logging into the mail client and not the browser.
