I'd also argue that adding MFA with TOTP really isn't _that_ hard either. There's a bit of setup work to be sure, but it's a feature just like any other that has a pretty easy to grasp flow once you do a bit of reading.

Don't do your own cryptography (just use bcrypt or if you're confident you won't mess it up, libsodium), but authN/Z is entirely within the realm of "roll-your-own" and should be table stakes for most businesses these days.

Even adding SAML or OIDC support really isn't that hard.
