well whilst hardware tokens are not always the right answer, there are good reasons to resist their replacement with things like "SMS 2FA" which isn't really 2FA at all ,as you have no control over the receiving device, leading to it becoming 1+1FA in a lot of circumstances (e.g. apple continuity, skype account etc)

I've actually been disappointed to see the opposite (companies moving away from providing hardware 2FA) as other options are perceived as cheaper, despite potential weaknesses in the security model.
