I was wondering if more sites will start to drift to a system where they require you to be logged in to an account attached to a SIM card in some ways.

I feel like accounts that require phone verification are already similar in that they require a some cost to access. It obviously wouldn't stop a large corporation from buying up thousands of numbers if they needed it for a specific purpose, but it would be prohibitively expensive for most to try this.

The benefit of the SIM system is it actually costs zero for people since they already have a cell phone.
