Correct. If this were outsourced, and somebody were to leak the algorithm, they would have to change everything.They would never work with the community to make this happen, and there's a very good reason why not too. These authenticators work on the basis of a seeded random number string, so to build an app, you would need to know the algorithm they use. By knowing the algorithm and taking a lucky guess at the seed, you would as a result have the tool required to crack the two factor authentication completely... for anyone's account.
The chance of an authenticator being added to WP is slim seeing how minuscule the userbase is, but if enough people request it, it may happen.
