I don't agree with everything but that last point of yours. Requiring your phone number only means your are not anonymous. There is no need to be anonymous to communicate privately. In fact, it can be counterproductive, since your are much more vulnerable to social engineering.

And also not secure if somebody sim swapped you, and then your privacy goes into the hands of the FSB agent who sim swapped you
