those are usually for "is this a spam" vote, so I would argue that there is some value there

I'm not talking about the ones that provide a user-contributable database of "what business owns this number, is it spam"; those are great.

I'm talking about sites that just list all possible phone numbers in a range, for SEO purposes, with no useful information about each number, and then try to sell you access to their invasive databases of personal information.
