Maybe the EU should solve this by mandating that all 2FA implementations support TOTP, analogous to how they mandated USB-C for smartphones.

I genuinely didn't know there was a 2FA system that didn't support SMS/Email or TOTP.

Yandex key does. I have tried to scan the barcode & see the details, but its not standard TOTP. You need to have Yandex Key app installed.

It could happen, they recently forced banks to use 2FA for some operations if I remember correctly.

TOTP is kinda lame once you've used FIDO2/CTAP2. Please skip TOTP as a requirement.
