So their vision of the future is that to do anything online, one MUST have a phone (ahem, portable wiretap)? And Google is going to be keeping my secrets for me, for my own good?

I'm not sure I'm down with any of that.

You can put FIDO creds on a 20 dollar hardware token. It's just that not everyone has that, so you can use your phone too if you want.
... especially since I choose to no longer have a phone/tracking device.
Not just a phone, an Android Phone! The login popup thingy (Google Prompts) is not available for any other mobile OS but for Android :(
I use iOS devices and I get a login prompt using the YouTube for iOS app.
