I turned it on, and instantly off again as it's not TOTP based (with the likes of Google Authenticator or your password manager of choice) and just as annoying as receiving a login email.

If they offered FIDO or TOTP, I'd have used it, but this is just annoying. It's basically saying your email account is to be trusted, which might not be the case. Password resets go to the very same email address, so if your email account is breached one way or another, anyone can get in by just resetting the password, as the 2FA goes to the same mailbox - which is one reason to enable 2FA to begin with.
