In the US, some major social media, financial institutions, companies, apps, etc. require a phone number that can be verified by text in order to participate in their services. You can opt to also use an app or YubiKey for 2FA, but they require a verified phone as well. They have restrictions on what kinds of phone numbers they allow and can detect and disallow XMPP, VoIP, and silent link eSIMs.

The real reason is the government wants you completely monitored at all times like a lab rat. They want to have full control over what the people think, say, and do.
