True and even highly sensitive Govt. services authentication for citizens in some large countries depends upon SMS based 2FA, Although the CF article is focused on corporate infrastructure security and I doubt if any of the 'Fortune 1000' companies mentioned actually still use SMS 2FA; CF is trying to block the phishing URL from being resolved and SIM-swap.
Meanwhile as a concerned individual, Since SMS 2FA is not dying soon I would wish at least some mechanism is brought forth to prevent the underpaid, overworked personnel at the carrier from being able to access that 2FA SMS and aiding in SIM-swapping.
