Using SMS text messages for 2FA is barely better than 1FA, but it is better.
There's a lot of value in discouraging what many see as the easy option, especially when the alternatives are getting users to install extra apps (or even buy hardware keys of some sort), so the scaremongering around SMS is warranted, but it's still absolutely better than nothing.
