On Twitter you can remove your phone number after the fact tho. In fact most sites that req a phone number to sign up etc allow you to remove the phone number later if you choose.
I hate it that Twitter forces you to enter a mobile phone number even when you set up an authenticator code generator as 2FA.
Oftentimes the weakest link in most of these services is the account recovery part.
When we set up the self service account recovery in saas pass password manager and authenticator we added all of these customizable options to mitigate against potential SIM Swap attacks.
