Changing email address

Let me start by saying I need to change my email address.I am really curious for the reasoning behind locking down a user's email address. As a software engineer by trade, I am coming up with a blank as to the rational, especially with 2-factor authentication enabled. If an email address is compromised, it is just allowing the attacker to have additional time to potentially access the account while the legitimate user struggles to secure their Ring account.Does Ring provide any rational for this design decision?
