It slows down (but doesn’t completely prevent) the creation of spam and grief accounts. It’s a tradeoff I’m willing to make.

But the user is not interested in posting (or they would have an account already). They are only creating an account because twitter is making them.

Twitter doesn't seem to have an option of a read-only account, where a phone number is only required to post.
