I'm not sure about "most people", but I for one never stored 2FA tokens on the same device as my passwords. My password manager is only on my desktop/laptop, and my 2FA tokens only live on my smartphone/Yubikey.
Storing both on one device sounds like a pretty stupid thing to do. Sure, it's convenient, but you are putting a looooot of trust into the assumption that your single device will never be compromised.
