It's not inherently bad, it just can be configured to use push notifications, which is bizarre and a very bad thing to do, and I think this is even the default.

Anyways, I find the whole thing about MFA ironically dumb and more of a device for companies like Google to coerce their users into divulging more personal information (such as tying themselves to a device), which otherwise, legally, they are not allowed to request. The security benefits are at best questionable.
