The other alternative is that you have some support person on the end of the phone who can grant access to accounts. Historically this has been a ripe for social engineering attacks leading to stolen accounts.

It is not hard to setup mfa on your google account so that there are no single points of failure.

Not a Google fan but I don't want any other means than my 2fa to unlock my account.
