Can someone explain what critical problem they are trying to solve by adding this complication?
Although: if (variable is not null) is great in that I can now also confuse my C# with SQL while also being mind bent as I switch between Typescript and C#

That simplicity is bad.
Honestly, if you have to "switch" on the type, it seems to me to be indicative of bad design, though there are definitely times when I've needed to -- weird deserializers that instantiate different types comes to mind.

But they probably have my phone number even though I never created an account.

For sure...
They might not know that that profile is concretely "you" but they probably knew a lot about the person using your devices
Not a secret that they create profiles for "John/Jane Does" that are not signed in

Well, I've never given them by phone number. I wasn't that mad.
But I checked anyway because... well, it's data-slurping FB. Happily they don't have my number.

I checked too, just in case...
From 6 numbers of people I care, only 1 was listed
