The larger problem is when your password gets hacked for whatever reason that the MFA protects your account.

Anyone else here had friends have their say Instagram account hacked, none ever have MFA on and it causes great distress.

MFA IS a good idea for multiple reasons.

MFA is bad idea for as many reasons if not more: complexity of implementation, variety, digital sovereignty... to name a few.
