I agree with you, it's absurd how much companies rely on the premise that you are still hooked into a national phone network. Because even if you're using a temporary or permanent international SIM card, typically these "convenient" 2FA systems will not text international phone numbers. Conversely, it's typically too expensive on a long-term basis to use a phone plan from one country while traveling / working / living abroad in another country. Now, after countless struggles with it, whenever I see a random request for getting my phone number for 2FA, I instantly reject it. No, I do not want your incompatible extra security system that will lock me out randomly, thank you. For U.S. engineers who basically don't travel abroad for extended periods of time, it may seem weird or unlikely that these problems exist, but I have several friends who would also testify they do - and 2FA with phones doesn't work for us.
