If they're asking for them, they don't know what they are. Therefore they don't exist.
If they require you to make one to fill it out, then there are other jobs out there.
No way I'd ever fill it out for any position I would apply for, but it could be that this position is for a Social Media manager or something directly related to showing these accounts, like how an artist has a portfolio they bring to an interview. Not sure if that's legal wherever this job is, but this could be a semi-rational reason to ask for this.
Required
most of them are fake/ghost jobs...
I run into mandatory mobile phone number inputs in on-line forms from time to time. While I do have a cell phone now, I don't use it a lot and don't have the number memorized. If I enter my land line # or a fake #, they will still send texts to the number.
Some places are verifying the number is registered with a mobile provider too. I have a home VOIP line that accepts texts and I can send them too, and I use it when I don't want to give out my cell #. Some sites won't take it though, knowing it's not a cell carrier. Some won't take Google Voice numbers either.
I love (read: hate) the ones that have a lengthy survey, full of questions and repeats to gauge your priorities by forcing you to choose one thing over another. Ive gotten such gems as, "Would you rather: 1) ensure that customers leave satisfied and happy; or 2) have a good work-life balance?"
Hey, I don't want ruffle anyone's feathers but should your life be more than just social media. I never post about my life online because its mine and only I get to experience the joys and sorrows that it entertains. Comparing yourself to the twit behind a keyboard is kinda lame

What if you don't have an account?
I live in California. This is illegal.
I lived in a "purple" city and constantly dealt with illegal application requests.
Its only illegal if companies actually get punished. But nah, not when you have a man in the white house who can touch little girls and gargle presidential balls and nothing happens.
Let's be very clear: only one of those two sexual acts is illegal. The other one is just hilarious proof that we live in the most stupid timeline.

They want to check you accounts, for reasons.
