Even authenticator apps are generally better than SMS.

One thing no one talks about with SMS verifications, though, is that it frequently confirms your phone number to the business you're giving it to. If they're in the habit of trading user data, this makes the data much more valuable. I think this is the real reason for many businesses that push for it, when normally they could hardly care less about user security.
