Okay, you got me stumped here
Either I added my 3x Yubikey security keys prior to that feature being taken away, or there’s a bug, or there’s some condition that has to be met before you can add security keys to your account: are you using a compatible web browser (e.g. recent Firefox), and have you downloaded/viewed/printed your recovery codes?
Un-nuanced absolutist statements like this grind my gears a little, haha
SMS is plain-text, and codes from the authenticator apps (and possibly also the GitHub Mobile app) can be phished, so in this regard I agree that the security key option offers the strongest safety/privacy, but those other phone options are still better than nothing for the majority of users
As far as devices I own, the only TV I could buy here was one running Android 10 without any software updates in the last 2 years, I feel I can confidently state that the TV is less secure than the phone I bought this year with an OS patch from this month
