Do I have to give my phone number to OpenAI to use this? I don't see why they require it. I wanted to give it a try, but no thanks.

Yeah, asking for number is too much but I think they need to it prevent spam/misuse because they offer you free credits to try out the model.

It would be nice if they let you forgo the credits to sign up without a phone number.

They require an email address and a phone number, probably as a way to mitigate spam accounts. If you're worried about privacy, you could probably use a burner for each.
