But that's the thing: SMS can be auto-forwarded without that much effort. Definitely without rooting your phone. I don't recall if there is any built-in functionality for this, or at what granularity, but in the past I had a Tasker profile specifically meant to forward very specific SMS 2FA codes.
Now try that with a bank/vendor app. Or any other communication app. Nowadays, many don't even put the message body into the notification anymore, so you can't forward it via another channel (e.g. via SMS).

Yes, proprietary app-based authentication is the worst possible authentication scheme, but thankfully I don't need to use any services that insist on that.
