As Carlos put it, people addicted to cellphones
would like to believe that everyone else "does not matter".
They not only want cellphone options, they want cellphone
interaction to be enforced as the only option. They
want to live in Cellphone World.

 
Addicted? No, simply banks are using a device that everybody has,
instead of making their clients buy an extra hardware device, not cheap,
for needed extra security.

Banks here used to provide a hardware device for free which you used with
your bank card at home.

The annoying thing was that you ended up with one for each bank - despite
using the same technology - and you were stuck if you didn't have it with
you.
