You're on vacation.  You probably didn't bring a laptop, because...
you're on vacation.  You go out and leave your phone somewhere, never
to be seen again.  Now what?

This happened to me.  It's the biggest reason I hate that Google has
become so insistent on 2FA.  In this situation--just when you need it
most--you completely lose access to your google accounts, until you
return home.  If this is day one of your 2-week vacation... :(
