I have a very personal reason to hate magic links:
I'm quite fast at passwords and 2fa. The whole thing is second nature, I have a password scheme to deduce the password for any site but keep them long and high entropy, and I can do 2fa calculations from any trusted device without taking my hands off the keyboard (thanks to oathtool), and anyway my passwords are sync'd securely and I can look them up with hands on keyboard.
This is strictly better than "single point of email failure". Why force me to be less secure and less usable.
Please, just allow me to use passwords and regular old TOTP.
