I mean, "social engineering" is pretty broad; saying MFA can't stop social engineering is like saying password managers can't stop hacking, or HTTPS can't stop spying. I mean, sure... but Webauthn would have in fact stopped this type of social engineering attack (which was a fake login page). And scanning internal networks for hardcoded secrets would have stopped this type of privilege escalation afterwards.
Security is never absolute, but we're not talking about a nation-state/APT attack here; current reports seem to indicate this was a bored 18 year old acting alone.
