SAML simply doesn’t support what you’re after here, it’s not a matter of want. Embedding a NameID in the request is not a hint to populate the form, but rather a demand that the result be equivalent. Other protocols do obviously have this feature, SAML just didn’t. The whole “separate factors” approach to authentication wasn’t common at the time, the most common MFA methods back then used PINs and didn’t combine independent systems.
