Is 2FA data really being sent to Google for rendering? 😕

Well, considering it is the place where you configure Google authenticator to allow you to use it for 2FA and Google needs to render the QR code, yes.

Google doesn't need to render the code. 2FA/TOTP QR code generation does not require data being sent to Google. There is not a need for IPS to be sending these codes to Google for rendering, it could be done locally.

Google Authenticator is one app for 2FA/TOTP codes, but you can use other apps. Even Google Authenticator itself does not transmit/backup TOTP codes to Google unless you activate its optional backup function.
