Rubbish. How would this stop bots? Bots are created to make money. What makes you think creators don't have a phone number, or be prepared to pay to spam.
Phone numbers cost money, which means they're not easy to create in bulk, and therefore banning or blocking spam numbers is much easier than if it was open sign up.
One account per phone number versus infinity of accounts without.
signal accounts... signal accounts everywhere!
