Mobile telephone subscriptions passed global population 7 years ago.[1] More than 1 phone is not so unusual.
End to end encrypted messages are harder than end to end encrypted contacts. Using phone numbers encourages people to use their phone's contacts app. Most people have theirs connected to Google or Apple. If they have other devices especially.

- __MatrixMan__ 5y agoTo your first point, if you have two phone numbers then you're probably keeping them separate for a reason, and so their contacts should be kept separate by the app too. As for your second: what are the "ends" you're taking about with this "end to end encrypted contacts" idea? Certainly, a contact list has to be visible at the device--otherwise it's useless. Where else would you want it to be visible?
