I wouldn't just give to any random stranger without them even requesting it, because why would I? But if I met someone, I probably would have given them my phone number anyway. What's insecure about that? I can always block them.
Because they might give your phone number to someone else, and then you don't have any more control over who has your personal information. That's how I look at it at least.
