Apple does it too. I have three iPhones, one much older than the other two. Recently, in one of my new iPhones, Apple decided to ask me about my passcode I used in my “giggleupstairs’s iPhone” for some special verification scenario. Now, what? I have THREE iPhones, how will I remember which iPhone is this generic looking iPhone name referring to? I kept entering what I thought was the correct passcode for at least three times before realising what was happening. I shudder to think I could have ended up locking up my account like this.
fwiw, the passcode challenge is for decrypting your keychain. If you fail that, you lose your passwords and other E2E data, but for better or for worse, not that much stored stuff is E2E encrypted and so you don't lose too much. I don't know if it's still true, but a few years back if you lost everything (i.e. didn't know your passcodes, didn't have a device to approve the sign in from) you could still get back into your account by waiting two weeks and recreating your keychain. This also means that if you are ever away from the internet for two weeks and someone knows your password that they can jack your shit but that's quite the edge case imo.
