This doesn't give them any information they didn't already know, phone operators in the UK require at least one form of ID for you to open an account. They already have your details on record, this is just a formality - recording your consent to opt-in. The Snooper's Charter bill is far more dangerous.
On the flip side, in the UK a mobile phone bill can also used as proof of identity in many cases.

That's not true for many prepaid/PAYG users in the UK. Anyone can still walk into a mobile store or supermarket and buy a PAYG SIM card, which isn't the case in many other European countries. Granted, those still don't support the more unusual features such as eSIM and companion smartwatches, but they're still a valuable choice to have.
