Why would support be in the business of removing it just because someone asks? If I needed it removed I could take a call at my official phone number and photograph my actual ID.
My cell provider requires a photo ID in person or a long pin not stored in the same place as other passwords in order to assign my number to a new phone and 2FA to access account.
This raises the bar from knowing my password to knowing my password, knowing my ID, producing a fake facsimile of my ID, stealing my pin from its encrypted container on my desktop, taking over my phone number, then taking over my account.
I don't have a pile of crypto to steal ergo this would be a LOT of work to send spam as me until my email gets flagged. It would be like a heist movie only with the target being the $40 in my wallet. mission impossible themesong begins playing
Basically support just needs to exercise reasonable caution when removing or changing it.
