They did that in order to collect the phone number from the kid?

edit: Their 2FA can do either SMS or email so that's a yes.

No. They did that to avoid VBucks (fortnite money) scams. That happens a lot. So if you want to send or receive Vbucks, they forced you to turn on 2FA. Good move.

They also offer the software token method, but most kids will not enable it.
