Yes, all these companies using 2FA don't help you at all when it just means you are royally fucked if someone can steal your phone with a SIM swap.
Matt Walsh should never, ever again keep a phone account in his own name. Everyone at the Daily Wire should use phones that are under a contract with some obscure LLC so the phone carrier employees can't just look them up and steal their SIM.
The 2FA they use is “we send you an sms” - which is a bullshit 2FA. It can be easily bypassed by calling the phone provider and asking switching your account to a new sim.
The correct way to do 2FA is via the authenticator app on your phone

Oh right I hadn't thought of that as 2FA.
