Could this stop every random company from asking for my phone number to send me SMS? I hope so.

Email works fine, is more reliable, latency is fine, and it works across devices and on desktops.

Deduplicate your accounts some other way. Owning a bunch of phone numbers is (clearly, from the article) not a hurdle for attackers.
