GitHub 2FA enrollment (feddit.de)

I just received an email from Github that they are now ofically begin to require users who contribute code need to have 2FA enabled.

Why isn't password + email already sufficient? Why do I need to use a third FA to satisfy their requirements? Is it reasonable to feel stumped or angry about it?

Would like to hear your thoughts about this.

Most of my private and personal projects I host on my own server anyway but recently I began to contribute to public projects, and even if its just translations, and I would love to continue doing it. So I'll use an Authenticator then for my github account.
