Google Fi requires you to have access to your google account to port or sim swap your number. So if you have real 2FA you should be safer.
I just had my AT&T sim swapped two weeks ago. According to police, the sim swappers are insiders at the telcos or have compromised corporate credentials and are logging into the telco admin portal and processing the swaps themselves.
I’ve now switched to Google Fi. I’m banking on the assumption that Google doesn’t keep an admin portal open to the internet and that they don’t give sim swap/port access to employees that aren’t paid well enough to be willing to take a small bribe to swap the sims.
