AT&T and T-mobile (maybe others?) have free spam filtering. It's not perfect but it does help.

As for your other question - there are still lots and lots and lots of regular phones in the world that call me and that I need to call. As you mentioned in your example - every business, school, government, etc.

Someone decided to spoof my cell phone number to spam call people. I don’t know how they filter spam calls from legit numbers without a new approach akin to DKIM/SPF where the number sets what carrier a call can originate from.
