But unless you check your email every 10 seconds would you even notice a post somone made 10 seconds prior to yours ?
While this will not have any impact on the risk of your account being accessed remotely, it does in fact weaken the local aspect which while less common is still something to note.
An account being accessed by someone else in your residence, be it a family member/room-mate etc is still a risk, and if you have someone else who has a habit of looking over your shoulder then the authenticator offered you a potential way to secure your account from that.
It should be a toggle on your account management, whether to ask every time or not.
