SMS is the de facto standard for MFA. Everyone's favorite ISP darling Sonic recently enabled SMS MFA on all accounts with no warning. Pretty much every financial institution I deal with offers SMS MFA (few offer any way to disable it). Retailers like Home Depot eschewed passwords in favor of SMS OTP.
I wish it weren't so, but that's just how things are these days.
