Sure, but that is not 2FA. It's 1FA. They could have used e-mail as the recovery mechanism to send a password reset link, then it still would have been SMS 2FA if they then required the SMS factor upon authentication and it would have been secure. This wasn't a problem of SMS 2FA, it was a problem of SMS based account recovery.
