You have an 18 year old son without a mobile phone?

I would think it is at least needed for all the logins requiring SMS 2FA.

Yes.

They gave him an iPad, but none of their systems use SSO of any kind.

He doesn't really care for the iPad, doesn't have a mobile phone, and doesn't do social.

He does do Minecraft, KSP, and Davinci Resolve.

Well then it must be Minecraft.

I would assume at that point he's on other platforms like Discord/Telegram instead of the usual social networks.

Or has a cheap prepaid plan and smart phone the parents will never know about.
