With your own app, you can generate as many login codes as you want with zero additional cost. Could that maybe be part of it? Maybe Paxum doesn’t want to pay for each user who logs in to frequently check their account?

Time-based one-time password is a free algorithm. Google Authenticator is just one of the many apps you can use for it. People only tend to call it Google Authenticator because that's what everyone knows and recognizes.
In reality there are many other free apps that can be used for the same thing, and there are no accounts needed at either side.
