It's often faster to search the number on Google instead of typing it from a sheet of paper. Plus with some companies I often feel like they don't want you to call them, so they hide the number on their website behind some AI that points you to guided FAQs. Add to that how ads look more like organic results every year, and companies actually buying ads if you search for them... It's a recipe for abuse.

While you're technically right (and I agree with you), Google is often the most straight forward and simplest solution. I don't ever bother saving the number for our favourite pizza place...
