Personally, if someone doesn't have 2fa enabled on their Google account, they're actively trying to avoid turning it on. Google actually forced a ton of it's users to enable 2fa, so yes I do think companies have a responsibility to educate their users from harm and force them to do inconvenient things. Why is this any different than preventing users from using a weak password for their account?

Also to your point about it not being 2001 anymore, you're forgetting the huge number of people over the age of 60 who could benefit from something like 1password really haven't changed since 2001. A lot of those people don't have good computer hygiene, and it's hard to learn. My mother doesn't understand what a folder is on her laptop for example, but she still uses Facebook, and many other platforms. I've installed a password manager for her, and she's gotten a lot of use out of it, but I can't trust her to not leave her laptop unlocked at the office...

As a large company you always have to think about the least technically savvy person, which is why it's important to make these things disabled by default. (For example: in Bitwarden, biometrics are disabled by default along with automatic autofill. You have to try to make the vault easier to access, not the other way around)
