If one could disable it after that, the tickets from those without should get very low priority if the account did get hacked.
Who declines a protection tool, should not ask for help after.
Btw, Google provides a limited number of authentification codes which you can use in case your 2FA device does not work anymore. They have the same function as a PUK if you lost your PIN.
Download them, save them, keep them for emergency.
edit: of course, if codes arrive via SMS then you don't need those, in the worst case all you need is to get a SIM replacement with the same number. You should deactivate the old one anyway, if your phone gets stolen.
