Sure, don't require attestation for services where 2FA is completely optional.

But for sensitive systems/services, why not make use of the advanced capabilities that hardware authenticators offer? I'm using one in a corporate environment, and in my view it makes a lot of sense.

I'd also not be upset if my bank would let me bypass the mandatory "account restricted, call customer support" dance every time I initiate a transfer over $10 between my own accounts using only a "trusted" authenticator brand... And banks typically care a lot about security properties like "this authenticator does not allow extracting private keys".
