Is it? Non-SMS authentication requires a smartphone and not just a cell phone.
And they still allow it. They just make you pay for it. So it isn't a decision based on security, even though they chalk it up as such.

What are the odds you’re using Twitter without a smartphone or a desktop/laptop? Twitter deprecated tweet via sms long ago.
Anyway! I stand by the assertion. Less users using SMS for 2FA is a good thing, even if a much, much smaller paid cohort still can (~300k Blue subscribers vs ~237M daily active users).
I include CISA and NIST factsheet links on the topic in another comment in the thread, so I won’t duplicate them here.
