No. I believe that it's way easier to recover your phone number when you lose your SIM or change your phone (eSIM). When you lose your email password and the recovery code at the same time, your email is gone, forever. That's a huge difference, IMO.
Yeah, it may not work when you buy a prepaid SIM and decide not to use it for a long time, but for billed plans, it's impossible. I've been using the same cellphone number for the last 23 years. I'd got my phone stolen, I was able to reactivate my cell the same day with another phone.
