why not, your browser or operating system remembers all your logins for you

2FA slows down the entire log-in process a non-trivial amount - even more so if it's implemented over SMS.

hm, then just use a dedicated browser for those logins? use a Firefox for logged in stuff for example, Safari for the other stuff.

Automatic logins are easily automatable to steal data from my device, me, and the people around me.

I want to be asked every time a service wants to know who's using it from my device. I want to have the option to immediately decline authorization before any information about me or my device is sent.

I want to have the option to say "no, I don't want this service to know it's me". I also want the option to say "I am <soandso>" even if really I am not <soandso>.

Not giving me that option is a disrespect of me as a user.
