I don't buy your analogy as being at all equivalent. You literally had two choices, chose the hard option and then complained that it was hard.
I totally understand making a tradeoff if you think that it preserves privacy (which I don't agree with as I explained above) but I don't think it's reasonable to do that and then complain about it.

"Entry into this establishment requires an exorbitant 20 minute procedure, or you can bypass that by showing nudie pics of yourself."
Me: why do I have to go through this 20 minute procedure?
You: you don't. I understand that not everyone is comfortable with showing nudie pics, but I don't think it's reasonable to complain about the alternative.
Sorry, hard disagree with you, but I see that you're set on your opinion, and I'm set on mine, so let's just leave it at that.
They chose the option that did not imply sharing too much information with discord. The fact that it's hard is mainly because it's not discord's preferred option. So no, it's a perfectly valid choice to make and discord is being a pita. Setting up time-based 2FA is simple. Setting up network (!! email !!) based 2FA is stupid and cumbersome.
