Whether or not I use Signal is private info, which is separate from my phone number info. Signal is mixing the two as if it was the same.

A username kinda restore that, but it could be taken a step further and ask for a secret token when adding contacts. That way you know exactly who has you in their contact list, and this token could be revoked (equivalent of blocking the person).
