However it also forces everybody to use two factor authentication. On a whole population level I'd bet that's overall a positive tradeoff.

And I believe you can also use sms + password for online transactions.

2FA is already mandatory by the PSD2 directive of the EU. I use my debit card as the second factor to access my bank account here in Germany via ChipTAN

SMS + password works for some Mastercards still but not Visa.

I don't think it's good that users are taught to accept their primary citizen 2FA on any random website and app where the URL doesn't even show.
