That entirely depends on the app you bought. I have plenty paid, non-appstore apps on my mac that do not require a phone number.

What is your question exactly?

OP is asking questions compulsively on Lemmy, he is not serious IMHO.

Most online purchases need a credit card and phone number.

The answer? No. You can choose not to buy that app, and can even tell the seller why you’re making that choice.

With the glut of free software available, I can’t imagine paying for software in general these days.

I recommend installing AppLite (https://applite.app/).
