> As someone who is rather distrustful of the real motives of the security in general

Do you mind elaborating on that?

So far I haven't seen a single major company doing phone based (insecure) 2fa not use the number for marketing, data abuse, etc.

Non-standards based "authenticator" dedicated apps phone home and spy on you. Intentionally trying to break or block actual TOTP.
