So in a nutshell they are saying that some of their users are risky enough to use a feature that discloses their phone number to them, and they consider this information as non-sensitive data.
Snapchat is and will always just be a fad, it's the current social network flavour of the time, and when something more interesting comes along, I will bet that the 4.6M users will be inactive in no time.
This is also why their users aren't concerned with this leak, because the premise in snapchat is a sort of leaking of your good and bad moments, with no filter.
But i'd be pretty sure that if it turns out they save the images and videos, it would be much bigger of a deal, because it ruins this premise.
