Like so many things on the Internet today, it is probably about funneling more of your data to Facebook and Google than building a better product or running a better service.

Yeah. Some big site (I think it was Facebook) got caught asking for phone numbers "only for security purposes", and then using it for other things. Maybe they've stopped, they did catch a lot of flack for it, but I see no reason to trust them or any site asking for that information.
