Don’t understand why this has been downvoted. It is a very silly hill to die on. Phone numbers are garbage. Difficult to change (banks/govt/emergency contact/ etc), difficult to mask (ala no “hide my email” alternative), and extremely invasive (no ability to customise notifications per sender/caller). So yeah, it’s no wonder people are becoming more and more wary of giving their phone number out. When the alternatives such as email and push are so simple, it really doesn’t make sense why the OP is willing to lose potential customers because of some weirdly held opinion.
