Two factor authentication appears to have self-installed on two iPhones, 2 Macs, and an iPAD. I did not activate it....have attempted to disable it...but it won't go away. This has become far too complex. I need a simple process to remove it.

Is there a software bug causing this?

If you're already using two-factor authentication with your Apple ID, you can't turn it off. If you updated to two-factor authentication inadvertently, you can turn it off within two weeks of enrollment. If you do, your account is less secure and you can't use features that require a higher level of security.
