If you lose your password you simply use the "Password Reset" which emails you a web code to reset your password ... as has been possible for 5 years

What you are probably referring to is, if you enable 2FA, but don't bother to save your 2FA secret key, which the web page shows you and tells you to do so in bold red, then you cannot get back into your account if you lose your 2FA device.
The point of 2FA is to be secure, otherwise there's no point having it if you can bypass it.

Not even close.

Close enough. Lose your 2fa, and/or lose your email (access to) and you lose your account. And yeah, i remember certain someone losing his/her password, used to have a high hashrate too and had to make a new account name ending in 1...

Not Close. Not if you lose your password.

Only if you enable 2FA, ignore the web page:

Quote

Your 2FA Secret Key is: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
2FA Settings are Kano: totp SHA256 30s
...
N.B. if you wish to setup 2FA on more than one device,
you should setup all devices before testing one of them.
If you have an old 2FA Secret Key in your device for this web site,
delete it before scanning in the new 2FA Secret Key.

WARNING: if you lose your 2FA device you will need to know
the 2FA Secret Key to manually setup a new device,
so your should copy it and store it somewhere securely.
For security reasons, the site will not show you an active 2FA Secret Key.

and lose your 2FA.

Not if you lose your password.

I've no idea who the user is you are referring to, but if anyone enables 2FA, ignores the web site, and loses access to their account, then yes they just create a new account.
They will not lose any rewards.
