Just like MishaTheWatcher, I've been hit with the bug where I'm required to get a phone number to chat on every single channel, including my own.
I've contacted Twitch Support and they just gave me the generic "We want to keep chat safe and fun for everyone!" message. I've checked discussions on other places like Reddit and this issue has existed for at least 3 years and Twitch hasn't fixed it yet, so it's definitely deliberate.
Sounds like Twitch wants to play dumb so it can harvest the users' personal data.

YouTube will start requiring that users who don't pass their AI age verification check to show their credit card or government ID to prove their age. I'd like to think that YouTube's overreach is inspired by seeing zero user revolt over Twitch requiring phone numbers for account authentication.
