One of the most important reasons I use Gmail is because it supports multi-factor authentication (mfa). MFA is great at helping keeping an account secure. Consider, the IETF has never updated SMPT, IMAP or POP to include MFA workflows.
Neither SMTP, or IMAP, or POP3, will ever "include MFA workflows" for the same reason that, say, a recipe for a strawberry shortcake will never include jalapeno peppers: it does not belong there. All three protocols implement SASL, and that's as far as they go, or should go.
A brief search finds several implementations of OTP on top of SASL. There's your MFA for SMTP, IMAP, and POP3. You're welcome.
