You can come up with all kinds of excuses, but Discord is not, and NEVER WAS a trustworthy company.

I'm not making excuses for companies retaining PII longer than they should. I'm simply stating why someone might give their ID. Another reason is to verify yourself as a bot developer, though supposedly that is usually done via an entirely different third party.
