The place you would find such stories are the google forums where google and their volunteers have a vested interest in pruning such complaints. Most normies don’t get locked out because they don’t use 2fa, don’t change devices and use a single easy to remember (probably easily guessable) password for every account.

Or a misplaced yubi key, etc… Good advice is to print out one time use codes, and store them somewhere safe, like a safe. Physical security is much better in a digital world than digital security.
