If you also use a strong passcode, access to your lost/stolen phone is blocked, as is the ability to see/use your 2FA codes.
The actual phone is virtually useless to them for any purpose.

This also happens when your phone is locked with the passcode and your get an authentication message: it asks you to unlock the phone to access the authentication code.
