This defeats the point of 2FA if you can turn it off without that second factor. In your example, if you don't have that authenticated session then you're still screwed... so you must design for the worst case scenario. The risk of 2FA is losing a device, which is why a proper design has other safety backups, such as backup codes, or leveraging a combination of other accounts that can vouch for you and humans in the loop.
