Probably in exchange of some privacy it gives its users time/money?
It's not only about money, but also privacy. Services like these shouldn't know who their customers are.
Many users care more about their privacy than your product.
You can't have privacy-focused and free services. You're either the paying customer or the product being sold.
that is because google and other companies derive more $ from your number than protecting your privacy/security
People say they cared about privacy and then don’t if it’s more expensive?
You already are paying with your privacy. If you value it for $0 then you're going to pay more...
ISTM that most people would rather give away their privacy than pay even a single cent for most things.
Need... they don't. It is a source of potential income.... at the cost of their user's privacy.
Some people value convenience more over privacy and that is okay. Lots of companies make that way money.
