> Phone numbers, despite all their flaws, are still the most reliable long-term

How so? The most realiable one is email, as it doesn't need to be tied to any third party so it can exist a lifetime.

I've had the same email since the mid 90s. I've had probably a dozen or more phone numbers in that timeframe. A handful of which are still tied to various company accounts even though I've long since haven't had any acces to those phone numbers.
