Admittedly, reality might be different (I won't know until I actually have this feature), but in my mind this is a good thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I would still receive emails from my contacts and I can add new people to contact list if I meet them through other channels first. This would only apply to strangers.

I didn't quite get your last sentence though. Who would be on the hook and why? A 1 dollar donation to a reputable charity wouldn't be a shady transaction.
