I understand but it’s not always with bad intentions.

In the Netherlands we have a system called DigiD to login into to most government websites like your taxes and city, etc.

When I contracted for the city of Amsterdam I learned they’ve been pushing hard for the DigiD app to two factor authenticate instead of text message, because of contracts Digid charges a lot per text message validation and none for app.

True, but it does force citizens into a contract with either Apple or Google. I don’t think that is a good idea both from the perspective of individual freedom and national sovereignty.

Nothing beats a hardware token.

I would also use Yubikey for banking, but I am scared as f. what happens if I lose it while traveling abroad.

I think it should be standard to allow registering multiple tokens, which would be equivalent to a backup for your purposes.

You can copy this if you buy two. You would have to store one somewhere, where it can be fedexed to you.

No need to fedex, just have a trusted person read you the code back over the phone.
