Because you can't have privacy if a company asks for your phone number.
Burner numbers are pretty easy to come by...
Not for everyone. Check your privilege.
I mean online providers like jmp.chat, my sudo, and virtualsim will hook you up for a couple of bucks. So sure, if you are seriously cash constrained or crypto is unobtainable for you, then not so easy.
If you use one of those accounts, someone will just take over your account after some weeks/months
Like anyone's doing that just to talk to you.
