The occasions when I had to check that SMS have been very rare, not even

not a chore.

Try logging into Walmart, or Home Depot, or your bank, or anywhere that
currently uses 2FA via SMS to complete a login.  It's hardly once a
month that I'm visiting web sites employing 2FA.  It is EVERY day
multiple times per day.  Once Google switches to QR codes, and however
they transport it to your Google account to complete login, how long do
you think it will be until other web sites adopt the same security
mechanism?  Remember when OAUTH and then OAUTH2 was unknown to users,
and look at it now.  The plague will spread.
