You have to get people to buy into using 2fa. SMS and cell phones were good for that. They are not secure and are being abused now (SS7 attacks) and one day won't be used for 2fa at all, but the platform was a good start and certainly better than nothing at all. Hopefully, OATH (HOTP and TOTP) and FIDO will take over where SMS leaves off.
And the real danger of cell phones and SMS is account recovery processes that SMS a recovery code to your cell. That's way more concerning than 2fa via SMS IMO.
