I think you're jumping the gun a bit. They're just saying that requiring a phone number added a barrier against spammers and they want to be sure this change doesn't open the flood gates.
From the article:
Even if it was a card, privacy.com for the win as it allows for any address and name to be used with their debit cards!
For the low, low price of the transaction fee and all data about the transaction!
Is there a system in the US that doesn’t need an overhaul at this point?
There's no transaction fees and the payment data can be anything you'd like... But I'm on the same page about an overhaul for sure
