>Who are these people in the tech. departments making these decisions ?

They aren't in the tech department; it's being forced downwards in many cases, often by the company "selling" the 2FA "solution".

Some cases you get a rare CTO who actually understands and cares, but that's rare.

The main point of attack would be the companies selling 2FA solutions to enterprise; they need to add non-SMS options and market on them - which may require a few more high profile SMS hacks to get it in front of everyone.

So maybe the solution is for techies to hack SMS 2FA (don't actually do this).
