Years ago, when SMS 2FA first became a thing, I remember people familiar with telecom stuff pointing out SS7 vulnerabilities and porting/SIM takeover issues. People shouted them down and claimed that they were being too paranoid and exaggerating the risk, or that most people aren't attractive-enough targets for someone to dedicate so much effort for hacking their accounts (and that SMS 2FA was thus good enough for most people).
