This has very little to do with 2FA: PGP signing has been de facto dead for years on PyPI, and this change has no effect on publishing workflows: PyPI will still accept uploads that contain signatures, and just ignores them now.
It's also not accurate to say that PyPI failed to make 2FA useful: it was deployed for over two years before the 2FA mandate for critical projects went into effect. That mandate also came with free hardware keys for everyone affected.
