But if you can use a unique number per service, you now know which company is selling your PII and you could address that either by switching to a competitor or, depending on the legal specifics, sue/expose them.

From what I understand it is not "unlimited" numbers, just one, as said an "alias".

That's a shame, it wasn't entirely clear from the article but I assumed it must be multiple numbers since it didn't seem to me like it would be all that useful otherwise.
