Preventing abuse? It's much harder to create a throwaway phone number than a throwaway email address.

You'd rather hand over your credit card than your phone number? I think most people would see it the other way around.

Credit card is easily changed. Phone number is much more difficult.

You shouldn't have to want to abuse something for it to be inappropriate to be asked.

I agree just debunking the excuse that's always wheeled out for this overreach.
