>LineageOS has a feature that helps people protect their privacy when calling helpline and hotline numbers by hiding the calls from the logs.

I love that there's a completely real and sincere justification for the feature, people suffering from issues may want/need to hide their help line contacts, but everyone involved has to know 90% of it's use will be sex lines.

The hiding is based on a listing of sensitive phone numbers, which they've collected internationally. So not just allowing willy-nilly number hiding like you suggest.
