I don't know where in the world you are but...

Bank: Most banks in the UK use an industry standard Chip Authentication Program - which uses the bank card's chip rather than SMS 2FA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_Authentication_Program

P2P Money: Coinbase https://www.yubico.com/gb/works-with-yubikey/catalog/coinbas...

Brokerage: Vanguard https://www.yubico.com/gb/works-with-yubikey/catalog/vanguar...

It would be a bit odd to have a mobile phone provider who doesn't support SMS. But looks like Vodafone is hiring someone with WebAuthN experience https://opportunities.vodafone.com/job/Dusseldforf-Solution-...

Hope that helps.

Ah, your earlier statement ("you live in a free market") implied otherwise. Maybe something worth considering before asserting that there is free market choice in all of these industries.
