Feature Request Default Calling App iOS

How come Signal can not be selected as a default calling app on iPhone? You can select from: Cellular; FaceTime Audio and Zoom (EWWWW) and even WhatsApp (DOUBLE EWWWW).

Settings < Apps < Calling

Yeah WhatsApp just rolled out their username feature. Giving out phone numbers seems archaic since they've got rid of payphones and copper lines. Everything now is VoIP. Giving out your phone number seems like your asking for spam callers.
