How do you know 99.9% developers don't want to provide 'phone support? 
Have you asked every single developer on the market?

I didn't say that Google must provide the information for everyone 
because some people wan to provide it, what I said was there is no easy 
way to determine those who do want to provide it and those who don't, 
and for those who don't want to provide it a method of removing the 
information has already  been provided.
