Am I missing something here? Home Pod Mini is already turning out to the the WORST Apple device ever for set up. What happened to Apple "ease of use"?

So far I have been forced to update my iPhone to 14.3 to even get started. Next I got stuck in an incomprehensible loop about having to update my phone security without the set up explaining what it was about the security that needed changing.

Go online and find suggestions to enable 2FA. Have avoided 2FA for ages as it is such a PITA, but decide to give it a go. Now Apple says for "security reasons" I will have to wait 3 days to get going with 2FA.

Still no clue about how to get by the dumb security loop.

Apple Support not responding. Home Pod mini a spherical brick not doing anything except glow annoyingly.
