On the other end, there is an excessive use of 2FA with systems for whom the concept of SSO seems to be a foreign thing. It's also sort of funny that 2FA can just mean using a TOTP capable password manager, reverting it back to one factor.

It's not actually reduced to one factor, just a single point of failure. If their password manager gets taken it's a problem, however the generated TOTP is worthless in 1 min. So this will protect the login from cases where the password is known like a compromised website or a reused password.

This. This so much. Password+Totp based login is just two passwords where one is more annoying to use.
