I suspect this is about work related MFA apps; for example, one of the reasons I switched to an iPhone many years ago is the MFA app used at work would not run if the latest Android version with security bugfixes were installed, and the manufacturer had stopped providing updates for quite some time. At that point I was looking at a costly upgrade to one of the Android flagships, or an iPhone, of which I chose the latter.

That's your personal decision though, you don't need a flagship android phone to have the latest versions of android. I pretty much never spend more than $100-150 for android phones and they always support all the normal MFA apps.

They all work fine, you just have to be on a relatively current version of android, and that's dictated by which versions the apps enable support for and not anything inherent to android in general. The idea that MFA apps don't work for half of phone owners is silly.
