Phone is an interesting one.
I view it as helpful.
When the phone number or website change registration, it's a flat that the
OSM data is out of date.
In my website tag checker, I load the website given and look for the phone
number.

What it kicks out primarily are lots of restaurants that are in OSM but out
of business.

The damage stuff however has no such cross check.  It will likely rot in
the OSM database,
getting more and more unverifiable.
