oh my goodness. How many websites have demanded my phone number and
address keyed in some unique form, yet not a one has ever phoned me or
written me a letter.

Web folk collect info they don't need.

Surely that sort of info could be given automatically in lump as an
electronic business card, like a vCard.

Think what happens when your email, phone number or mailing address
changes. You must manually notify hundreds of websites, all with
unique ways of accepting the info.

But that does not matter. This is CUSTOMER labour.

Ditto install programs that ask a question every 3 minutes for several
hours. They must be babysat. But since the customer is doing it, who
cares?
