Evernote offers 2step but it's not compulsory, and AFAIK none of the web services I use - gmail / google drive etc - make it compulsory to use 2 step verification, though it is available.
And what extra costs does a service incur through being hacked? Any web service should continually be keeping its online security up to date and effective. Being hacked is a wake-up call that there's a vulnerability in the system somewhere that needs to be fixed. That's a normal operating expense.
2 step verification is a sure way to know that hackers don't get to misuse the account. it is basically for people who want to use that account on various devices. never the less it should be opted for as it adds to the security of your account
