Not sure about in the EU, but here in the US I cannot create a google account without providing a telephone number "for security."
That's certainly different (not more arduous, but more privacy invading) from when I created other Google accounts some years back.
I just created a new Google account in the US without providing any personal details whatsoever.
That hasn't been my experience of late.
In fact, I just tried again and was asked to "verify my phone number."
Perhaps you created such an account with your phone?
In which case, Google already has that information.
