In much of the world, for the government at least, that is a given: you can't get a phone number without presenting legal ID, and the issuer of the phone number is required by law to maintain this association. This is true in much of Europe, for example.

So what exactly do you think will happen? The government tells signal "We know that simiones phone number is +1 12345678, give us his registration date!"?

I don't get your threat model.

As far as I know burner phones are still available in the US.
