What I'm advocating for above is that people get multiple hardware tokens, and keep them in separate safe places. What Doreen is running into is that if you use your phone as your only second factor you have a problem if your phone stops working. I don't see how these are in tension?

I think our expectations are simply out of alignment. What you're advocating for is unreasonable if a loss of hardware tokens means a permanent loss of account access with no recourse, and I don't think that's a hard case to make to legislators and regulators.

I didn't say anywhere that loss of a hardware token should mean "permanent loss of account access with no recourse"?
