Nah it just means you need to contract with a temp sms number provider. It'll be difficult for your average kid in a garage to run bulk bots but not for state, corporate, and other well funded actors.

I've seen pictures of rooms with walls full of Android cell phones on shelves all hooked up by USB for power and remote control. They can load apps, register accounts, and interact with content inside the app while appearing as legitimate mobile users. That's why moves like Reddit restricting API access only hurt legitimate users and lazy bot farms, cause the hardcore bot farms have been using the official app on real phones all along.
