Yeah, okay, fair point. I guess it depends on the use case. For general communication, you’re absolutely right, but in the article, it said he was a climate activist, and I imagine I‘d rather use a separate anonymous email address to organise and demonstrate than an account linked to my phone number and through that to my identity.
