I've been using Google services for at least 20 years and I can't
remember the last time I had to get a SMS OTP to log on.

If I've been using a new computer or logging on from an unusual
location I've always verified with some other method. Either with an
authenticator app, or by approving my logon with another device, or
with a passkey.
