Espechally since they don't support EVERY NATION AND NETWORK nor can one expect to have a dedicaded and secure phone number for that!

Also nothing prevents them from generating iTAN lists and just request a randomized unused entry from it.
It's not as if they'll require it for every push and every merge of code.

The idea of Two-Factor - Authentification is to prevent someone from creating chaos if they gain access to an account or it's credentials...
