Sorry, I really cannot tell if this is sarcasm or not.
One of the TOTP apps had a periodic test that you still knew the paraphrase. It started frequent and then backed off to like once a month. There’s definitely a benefit even if it’s annoying.
That’s not sarcasm and it doesn’t allow any backup, it literally just to make sure you didn’t forget the PIN. It’s once a week, forever. It’s a good way to make sure people don’t activate 2FA.
