As always, I'm very uncertain where your goal posts are placed or what
tacit agenda you're following. No one has advocated the use of unique
passwords.
In my plausible scenario, you're password entropy counts for nothing.
Your password, unique or otherwise, has been compromised. 2FA would
prevent illegal entry to your account in this case. The subject we're
addressing here is your assertion that 2FA adds no extra security. I
have demonstrated that it does.
