I just recently went through the process of closing my Wells Fargo account and switching to a different institution. It was surprisingly difficult to open with a credit union (none that were in my region offered 2FA, and the one big national one wanted me to verify some information during signup with Stripe . . . no thank you). I was determined to switch and ended up opening a bank-like account elsewhere, but I can see why people don't do it.

Most of that bank 2fa uses telephone SMS, which is a bad joke.

BofA turned on sms 2fa for me some years ago without my asking.

They support U2F these days, thankfully. It's buried deep in the settings but it's there

I asked my credit union if I could use TOTP and they were like "no, we only support SMS". I then asked if I could disable SMS and they said "no, but we'll remember you computer for up to 90 days!".

Great. I don't check my bank account much more often than that. That's useless.
