The scary thing is how much ones phone number (a somewhat ephemeral thing) is actually bound to your IDENTITY.

Considering your phone number is more and more being used in 2FA ... if you were to ever change your number and someone else got it, this would pose a serious security risk if you failed to change over ALL of your internet accounts 2FA to the new number.
