And what if you add a debit card without money? Or add a disposable card and then the next day you deactivate it?

Nowadays everyone push you to add a card to open free* account. Such disposable cards is a solution to this issue.

Your debit card bank has your real name and you agreed to share it to get the card in the first place.

In many countries this is meaningless.

I just ignore any horseshit that goes to collections outright

It really is. It decreases the risk and necessary KYC checks so a lot more people can get serviced that would be shown the door in a world where you can't sell a debt.
