It's a precedent. This isn't just about Twitter; there are many who do not offer such options.

I don’t think it has any applicability to anyone beyond Twitter.

Maybe it’s a precedent that the FTC will tell you to add non-SMS 2-factor if you are misusing the SMS factor for advertising, but that’s a pretty limited precedent!

It emboldens prosecutors and DA's and makes conversations around going after other bad actors more tenable.
