Signal threatens to dump US market if EARN IT act ...
The point isn't hashes anonymize you, the point is you're already leaking IP in most cases, so phone number doesn't really reveal anything additional.

I'd much rather leak an ip than a phone number.

Pretty much anything I can think of. If someone get's my phone number they can bug me or identify me much more concretely/completely.
What threat model has a IP be worse to leak than a phone number?
