Threema only requires an anonymous ID (and has done so for many years), so somehow it must be manageable.

Don't they store IDs on the server?

Right, but they charge, which connects to your identity just like a sim does.

It’a one-time charge through the app store and unrelated to the Threema ID. You pay for the app, not for the ID. Threema doesn’t receive any PII about you.
