Does a 12 word recovery phrase offer the same security as 24 words?

Watching this Q&A with andreas he states that a 12 word recovery phrase offers the same amount of security as a 24 word seed phrase as the output is 128 bits either way.


If this is the case, why do wallets use 24 word recovery phrases which adds extra user complexity for no, or a marginal at best, security improvement?
