A secure MFA implication requires a second device to authorise the login. As you correctly point out, generating a code then and entering it on a compromised machine is SFA, as it treats the token as a second password. If MFA is implemented correctly, the only attack vector should be the session token.
Once you get password vault, it's very likely that you also get creds necessary to set up VPN. Besides, there are ways to bypass (poorly implemented) VPN and relying on VPNs isn't even the best practice nowadays.
I agree with you that a few CISOs getting sentences would be the fastest way to raise the bar across the tech sector, but that's never going to happen.
