Devil's advocate: If you already don't worry about exposing this info then why not just use Telegram or Signal?

Because AirDrop only exposes the info of the sending phone, not the receiving phone.

An iphone can be bought and emails can be registered without doxing yourself, so this info isn't strongly tied to your identity the same way a phone number is.
