The idea isn't that it's something you desire to do in your daily workflows, but that you desire for a hacker to be unable to do it when they somehow get hold of your password. As with many security features, they add some amount of inconvenience, but the best versions (e.g., U2F) aim to minimize that inconvenience while maximizing the security value.
