That's what makes Aegis better IMO. People use it because they like it, not because they're locked in.
What would possess anybody to use a 2FA service that locks you in?
Ignorance.
It's not like they advertise "No exporting" as a feature after all.
And generally speaking when people are grabbing an authenticator app it's because you're either trying to sign up for a service, or you've been given some kind of unwelcome push to upgrade your account security. Not an environment that's conducive to extensive research.
