If a company requires you to use Authy you can't just put that into another authenticator. Yes, you the Authy app can ingest a normal TOTP QR or secret and be used the same way as those others, but their special weird 7-digit OTP thing is proprietary to them, and businesses which choose "Authy" as their only OTP solution are locking people into using this crappy, SMS-linked app. Another reason it's terrible is for business. Lots of businesses have an account that several people will need to access (yes, it's great to have multiple user support, but not all things do, or sometimes you need a 'bot user'). With something that supports real TOTP you can put that secret into 1password (or heck, scan the code into 7 different people's phone authenticator apps). With Authy you have to pick some random person's cell phone to tie that account to, and hope they don't go on vacation.
