As someone who also self-hosts, I absolutely do not want phone numbers tied to verifiable personal information. Why? Because then every major "service" will make phone registration a requirement. It's bad enough as it is.

Look around, its basicaly impossible to sign up or freaking buy something online without handing over all your most personal information, even when they literally never call you.
