Why does an open source browser code editor ask for my phone number to sign up?

This got me too. It looks like a neat project, but the phone number requirement seems a little off. There doesn't appear to be a real need for it and running through their privacy page isn't helpful.

Its to prevent abuse as you get a real VM to run code server in.
