You're misrepresenting the maintainer. He is using 2FA.

No I haven't. This maintainer got told that he needed to use 2FA for PyPI, instead of doing that most basic of actions he had a tantrum and removed his project:

So that he could continue to use PyPI's infrastructure to publish his work for free.

I happen to work with that person so I had the enjoyment to watch this unfold as it happened. The maintainer thought the package would remain after deletion for existing users as it does for instance on crates.io. I also know that he uses 2FA.
