Gene, Even if you did want to use the bank account method rather then PayPal you would not give the Gnome people your account number. They are using "Plaid". They are an actual on-line banking platform.
In any case, every time you write a paper check or use your credit card you are giving someone the account number. These services like Plaid and PayPal or Apple Pay stop that from happening. They also provide fraud protection in case you were scammed. They can reverse transactions even a few months later.
