Maybe they got confused about total power usage (maybe) being more than the green power added?

and also that power is going to get spent no matter what anyway

Yeah but it leads to higher bills for consumers, and generators can get spun down, and it's keeping fossil fuel plants open, etc.

Ohh. Thank you that makes much more sense.

They do that because they can. Write a letter to your mayor or executive of whatever municipality that is.

I use Firefox Focus because operating a phone is hard. I guess I can switch it temporarily but that's once again iffy.

Implementing the open source TOTP system would cost them money! They'll rather keep paying SMS egress instead.

To be fair it's probably way cheaper nowadays.

That wouldn't fix anything. There would be a site reselling it for a lower price or a large subscription fee for a specific area.

Almost anything made by governments is public domain so it's legal.
