It’s difficult to get burner SMS numbers and also to activate a SIM from abroad.

Some eBay traders will sell activated SIMs but you are essentially trusting a third party.

Agreed, to an extent.

But not if you know how to do the legwork; I have 4 active Telegram/Signal accounts on sveral devices using apps that allowed me to register and acquire a US/EU based mobile number.

I completely lost al ofl those passwords and access to those old numbers (didn't use them after activation years ago) but it certainly is possible if you do the legwork.
