I agree. I wonder if there is a good compromise between convenience and security, though. For example, before allowing Google Authenticator to sync for the first time on a new device, maybe notify the user on all devices and enforce a 72-hour delay, or wait until the user approves the new device using an old device (in a way that is hard for a scammer to pass off as legitimate).
