Doesn't make sense.  Say I'm using a desktop PC.  Nope, it doesn't have
a cellular or landline phone line to it (it cannot do telephony) which

are they going to send an SMS text to my desktop PC?  Not everyone
logging into Gmail is using a smartphone to do so.

The articles are about discussions about possible future changes, but
the article or discussions have been very incomplete, like a proposal
without a scheme.  The articles are as worthless as telling you a
grocery store will have a weekly sale sometime months in the future, but
not when, or what will be on sale for what price.

 
Oops, forgot I was in the Android newsgroup which eliminates desktops.
