It is clearly failing for this use case.
Security can't be seen as a one-size-fits all threat models. That will never be satisfactory, as requirements vary.

But denial of service is also a component of evaluating threat models. Here we're discussing cases where 2FA causes denial of service which is worse than any risk of getting the account stolen by password guessing.
