The benefit of this privacy overreach is that the incentive to self-host your own web and communications services becomes greater and greater. At the same time the technology has matured to a point where you can have access to enterprise software tools at home on a private server. Most of these tools are free and open source as well.

You can self host your own email server. You can self host services like Jitsi for video and voice calls. You can go a step further and use the decentralised Matrix protocol through a service like Element for end-to-end encrypted video, voice, and messaging. These don't require a phone number. "Cloud" storage (networked storage), documents, spreadsheets, video streaming, music streaming, project management, etc. can all be hosted at home if you have the right knowledge and time. The downside is you have to pay for the hardware and maintain everything; which is a big hurdle for most. A hurdle that looks less intimidating the more government and big tech violate our privacy.
