Not true. Its not the same.
Phone numbers are centrally issued by authorities - mobile companies.
I generate random Bitcoin address on my Bitcoin wallet and no one knows to whom this new random address belongs.

Now you pretend that chain analysis doesn't exist. How cute.
Analyse the chain and tell me who is behind this address?
You can tell the money came from address x, before from address y ... but who is behind them?
Also for better anonymity people can use coinjoins. And chain analysis ends there.
we might not us as individuals be able to, but centralized exchanges who kyced a bunch of newcomers definetly can.
Harder to do chainanalysis with monero even if you know the public adress though.
