I believe you can delete your phone number once you're up and running, but yeah that seems like an anti-feature.
I see an option to change it, not delete. It's still attached to a SIM card which requires identity verification in many states.
You're right. That is odd.
When anyone get a copy of your data, nothing will bring it back.
I'm sure that just sets the database column
hide_phonenumberto TRUE.
