Yeah, I assume that part of rejecting that would include not utilizing a chat service that requires one’s account to be tied to their government ID (phone number).

Right. Cell phones have become pervasive in many societies and it is expected that everyone has one st this point, but we can actually survive without them.

Granted that can be harder in some countries that, for example, use phones to pay for everything and don't use cash. That's just another example where people could have refused though, we can still survive without it even if life becomes less convenient.
