LinkedIn is absolute scum in that regard. They pestered me for my number for ages until eventually they finally implemented TOTP 2FA which I then enabled.

They still ask for a phone number when applying to jobs through their platform. I always put zeros or random digits in the field and put the real one in the resume.
