That's the individual server, not a standard Discord policy. Subreddits can also make gates that are exclusionary. So... not Discord the company.
Even if it was, "Requires a verified phone number" is not "Evil". You might not like it, it might be incomprehensible, it might be exclusionary, but it's not "Evil".
It’s a discord issue if individual servers are incentivised to require a verified phone number.
