Nothing pisses me off more than websites that require you to install their app for 2FA.
There is no reason for you to not be using standards based authenticator solutions.

Counterpoint: A government portal needs to be extremely backwards compatible to support as many people as possible. That includes supporting devices that don’t support the latest standards.

Not if the standards rely on dedicated hardware, for example: security enclaves.
The whole point of using a security enclave on different hardware is so it’s memory cannot be accessed or polluted by a process or side channel attack on the main hardware.
