That’s totally fine, i am not against services requiring phone numbers during registration. I am just against those services allowing sms to be used as an easy 2FA fallback when an app-based 2FA is enabled. Because doing so makes app-based 2FA kinda useless.
I agree with your points, it just feels insanely rate to see a service utilizing phone number requirement for registration the proper way (i.e., the way you describe).

I am completely opposed to services having any PII (Personal Identifiable Information) beyond an email address because the dumbass services keep my PII and then lose it when they get hacked. If I can go collect a million dollars from a company that loses my PII, I'd let them collect it. SInce I can't, my best option is to refuse. If you want to verify, take a credit card number. At least I can cancel and change that when some dumbass get hacked and loses it.
