It's a small thing, but this popped up today in an app I'm stuck using (not gonna name and shame it), and, what the heck, in what universe is anyone's email less secure than their texts.

We all remember SIM cloning, right?

(This was not somewhere I'd worry about, e.g., adversarial family members.)

Honestly I suspect that the app is just pivoting to wanting phone numbers now because they're higher value customer data, but I'd signed up long enough ago to have used email.
