"Trader" contact info simply means the business's address, and phone or email.

It's a legitimate requirement, since the E.U. generally already requires this for all businesses in the E.U.

"Independent developers and small companies may not have dedicated business addresses and phone numbers to provide to customers"

So this is an invalid concern right?

Unless they're homeless, they have an address. When you run a business out of your home, your home address and your business address are the same.

And the law requires a phone number or email address. As at least one of these are required as part of the business registration process or for various business-related compliance, it's simply not possible for a legitimate business (whether solo or company) not to have either.
