So write down the secret OTP key, do the crypto yourself with a pen and paper, or failing that with any device (laptop, hardware TOTP device) you own, using open source software, or build your own using the standard. It's nothing to do with your phone or carrier.

I simply do not need such kind of authentication for myself, at least I do the best to avoid such need.

Try to think of a Plan9-like world, which means user-centered not "modern mainframe centered". We still need services, but there is no need to have them like today.
