"Basically every service that refuses to send to GV also refuse to send to Twilio numbers."

Most likely they are sending SMS from a short-code - and a short-code cannot send SMS to a non mobile number.

Twilio numbers look and feel like "mobile" numbers (you can send SMS to/from them, for instance) but they are not.

So it's not so much a refusal on the part of your vendors (Apple, for instance) but something they simply cannot do.

Ironically, twilio themselves requires a 2FA process that cannot be satisfied with their own product.
