I agree that's a problem. But as long as I've been around, theres' always been a fine line between usability and security. You introduce one change to fix one problem and it creates another. You try to simplify and end up over-simplifying. You give users more control and they choose convenience over security, which for a very large population or critical infrastructure has larger ripple effects (every compromise is a foothold into another compromise). There are other solutions, like FIDO2 with a hardware token and approval button, but that has its own drawbacks and adoption is slow. Every solution is kinda sucky :(
