I think the issue is that companies add SMS 2FA and say they're done. Supporting the more secure variants is still necessary for those who want to be more secure. But too often I've seen response along the lines of "but we have it already" and having to explain why it's not sufficient for me is exhausting. I should probably push hard on my financial institutions (e.g., Fidelity finally has SMS which I did enable, but while other methods are possible across their setup, they're not available for my account type).

Plus, even putting aside the security flaws inherent to SMS, reliable SMS delivery is not a given -- for example, during international travel. Or should your phone suffer a catastrophic failure. Or both simultaneously.
