The author seems to assume that security is (or should be) the only consideration in implementing 2FA. When in practice, practicality and convenience are part of the equation as well. While imperfect, SMS 2FA significantly improves security while also remaining convenient.
Instead of suggesting that we put in place legislation banning it (?!), perhaps the author should come up with an alternative solution that provides improved security with the same or better convenience for end users and the organizations using it.
