It's embarrassing that we haven't solved spam calls yet.
Marketing companies and phone carriers make a lot of money from it. Spam calls are a whole industry. Nobody has made a serious, major attempt to solve the problem because too many people are getting rich off of it.
phone number/email aliases basically solve it, which I think apple provides?
I’m not sure. I’ve used the email aliases, but I’ve never looked into whether telephone ones are an option.
