There are also open source versions of this (including one on F-Droid).

Both text messaging and Android are pretty widely deployed, including in non-western countries. In a lot of places, mobile is more widely deployed than desktop, so I think there are a lot of people who could take advantage of two-factor authentication.

It helps that the app versions (e.g. Google Authenticator) do not even require Internet access.
