With respect I disagree.
The first point is basically: "In certain circumstances 2FA won't help". "certain circumstances" meaning "their backup device is already comprised. An household alarm system is useless if the crooks have your remote control that deactivates it.
However, 2FA is very effective if your second device isn't already in the hands of those looking to get into your systems.
The second point is "2FA can be annoying so users turn it off". Passcodes on your phone are annoying too, but if you have one on then your phone is fairly safe. Removing the passcode feature because some are too lazy or inconvenienced to use it exposes the other 99% of people.
So I feel those arguments, while valid, don't relate to the majority case.

Fair points.
As I said, does no harm to add as an option anyway - I think there may even be an article or 2 on a site I know...

LOL!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

From a blurb in an e-mail from Manning Publishers re a new book on the Meteor Framework, yet another "full-stack" JavaScript do-all-be-all (never heard of it before):
Meteor applications react to changes in data instantly, so you get impossibly responsive user experiences. I sure do want to have impossibly responsive user experiences ! And, hey, how about super-size that to include miraculous $ales ?
Pretty soon there'll be so many FrameWorks out there the only place you can get a half-stack is at the International House of Pancakes.

The second problem is that much of the time our bosses are not scientists and will swallow that sort of statement hook line and sinker.

Meteor is actually pretty popular, but only came to Windows pretty recently.
Generally, I like Manning books. I prefer Manning over Apress or O'Reilly
I do agree that's an impossibly bad sales pitch though
