> any google account which does have 2FA should (as I understand it)

Are you talking from experience (with Gmail) or just talking "best practices"?

From personal experience. I have two @gmail and a hosted by google and all of them show me both device and totp enabled. afaik it came for free. Admittedly I turned 2fa on as soon as it was GA years ago and did not have it automatically applied so maybe the backup codes and TOTP thing is different.
