There appear to be two points being conflated — 1/ 2FA via secrets stored on a separate device from your primary device with a PM provide more security than those stored on one device, and 2/ once you use a PM with unique password for every site, much of what OTP helps with for is already mitigated.

Both seem true, and what to do to protect yourself more depends on what kinds of attacks you're interested in stopping and at what costs. Personally, PM + U2F seems the highest-security, fastest-UI, easiest-UX by far — https://cloud.google.com/security-key/
