The problem is in PayPal's case, 2FA has been terrible for years. I've even been locked out of the account for a whole week because of their shitty SMS sending service. This prompted me to disable 2FA on Paypal, because weirdly enough that makes me feel "safer" (as in safer from losing my money due to Paypal's stupidity by being locked out of the account).

So in this case I'm certainly not one to say "hey, mistakes were made - let's give them another chance." They've been getting reports about their 2FA system for years. So there's no excuse at this point.
