There’s a toggle to disable send as sms in the settings.

Of course not everyone knows that and it isn’t the default so I can see how this is a deterrent in practice.

You're right, I must have activated that toggle years ago and forgotten about it. Yes the SMS fallback could be painful if you're not paying attention.
