  1. I think a lot are not aware of how the 2FA works today. Unlike a 2nd set of password some MMO games provided back in the stone ages. Now 2FA users don't even know the password themselves until they checked on the app on their phone. These passwords changed every minute making it "near" impossible to hack by average hackers or someone that happened to guessed your account password. And as the 2FA setup goes... only the simplest minded people in existence will go through all the troubles just to find the infos used to provide the 2FA generator for a phishing scam. So yes, 2FA is certainly far far better than SL current password system. A FEW TIMES better in fact. The down fall being that google wasn't able to provide a "saving" method of the 2FA account due to security reason, making it not only hard to breach but a pain for anyone who lost their 2FA device. This means you are locked out from your own account if you lost your phone. But on the other hand, other Authenticator provides a "cloud saving" method so no matter where or on which phone you use, you still gain access to your 2FA informations. Less secured but it works.
