> I can’t remember the last time I talked on the traditional phone network or received a legitimate call

Doctors, dentists, moving companies, home improvement contractors, recruiters, etc. These are some of the most important phone calls I've received in recent memory.

I don't know what world you live in, but I religiously block phone numbers after just one spam call. And I usually don't give out my phone number. (I'm much happier giving out email addresses since I have an infinite supply of addresses.) I never get enough spam calls that I feel like the phone system is going the way of the fax machine.

Agreed. Phone calls are quite common in my circle. Spam calls have definitely risen in the last 10 years, but the ratio is nothing like the GP.
