You do not use the PIN to log into your account, but to unlock the passkey that is used to log into your account.
A PIN + the need to physically access a device capable of logging into your acount is safer than a password, which is safer than a PIN.
On the other hand, a compulsory 2FA bound to a physical device will create lots of problems when you loose access to your device.
