Or Google, very user hostile because it makes me choose between giving them my phone number or installing their spyware app on my phone.

Google's authenticator is just a standard TOTP app. You can use any app, including Aegis.

Google hides TOTP option until you create a method that uses your mobile number or google app. Only after that you can change it to TOTP.

I'm for real tho, it's called the Apex and you load an OTP applet on it

Really? How does it work? Is in an NFC implant? Which PC/phone software do you use to read it

Yes it's an NFC implant. Fidesmo store to load applets, then things like yubico authenticator for OTP. Think of it like only the NFC side of a yubikey neo with fidesmo.
