There is a tangible difference between some people having this data somewhere out there, and literally anyone who wants to have it being able to look it up in a few seconds using tools already installed on almost every computer anywhere.
The ability to look up the correct contact details for a commercial enterprise on that enterprise's website is a good thing imo. It is (or was) part of the EU requirements for commercial websites (anything selling, giving purchase advice, advertising, ...).
It's a useful filter, a seller without identifiable people and location is a big red flag.
