That’s a tough decision. Going straight to the 2fa page immediately tells the attacker the account exists and does or does not have 2fa enabled… assisting them in narrowing down their efforts to less secure accounts and/or telling them which accounts they need to start phishing/etc for the 2fa code.

So you’re asking for the business to implement something that makes their own users less secure so that sites that don’t provide 2fa can be more secure. Maybe it would be better for those sites to improve their own security instead of asking others to compromise theirs to help cover for someone else’s lack of effort.
