The US has backdoored RSA's RNG and thus endangered the security of American companies. It is naive to think that US intelligence agencies will act in the best interest of US citizens or companies.

I find it funny how MFA is treated as if it would make account takeover suddenly impossible. It's just a bit more work, isn't it? And a big loss in convenience.
I'd much rather see passwords entirely replaced by key-based authentication. That would improve security. Adding 2FA to my password is just patching a fundamentally broken system.

Don't forget that the NSA bribed RSA (the company) to insert a backdoor into their RNG. Being in western jurisdiction doesn't mean you won't insert backdoors into code. It just changes whom you will target with these backdoors. But they all equally make our technology less trustworthy so they are all equally despicable.
