Is this because you have to be logged in as your account to chat with them? Sorry, I know it is a probably silly question but I'd like to have clarity.
You also can't use "find my phone" without tapping the 2FA notification that pops up... on your phone.
That's not true; there is a specific exception for icloud.com/find which doesn't require 2FA.

edit: my mistake; you are probably referring to the Google version!

Says right at the bottom of the page

> If you have lost access to the billing administrator account associated with a Google Workspace account, you need to contact your Super Administrator for assistance or contact Google Workspace Admin support.

"Google Workspace Admin support" links off to https://support.google.com/a/contact/recovery_form

I love to shit on Google as much as the next person, but you can still contact them if you are locked out. Something those "Gen Pop" users are often not given (See the Terraria Dev for the latest high profile example of this).

First thing I looked for, and found, as well. I assume this is just HN being HN. Flagged. It would be good if HN allowed mentioning a reason for flagging (maybe?)
What made me giggle a little was having a little look at their profile - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26126740

"People should get used to be deplatformed. I see this as a good thing. Maybe the cloud lock-in madness will stop."

They then get locked out of their Google Cloud account. Doh.
