Andy, You’ve made a good case why you would not want to use this feature.
So, it is a good thing it is an option.

I like the way this is implemented on Android somewhat better though and for that reason I haven’t implemented it on my Iphone although I’d like to. On Android, it doesn’t block all unknown callers but blocks those that might have spam characteristics. I had a lot of calls in my recents on that phone, a few of which were spam. It identified them all correctly. But I do get some legitimate calls from people I haven’t bothered to add to my contacts because they don’t call much, usually related to some event I’m part of or whatever, and they’re definitely not spam. So I feel like this is too global. Another example of calls I get are from state agencies which mask their numbers using other numbers. No idea why, it’s totally supid, and I can recognize them even if they’ve never used that number before, but it makes it impossible to enter them in your contacts because they never call from the real number. On my Android phone, it was able to determine that these weren’t spam, but if they were, I could make a rule for that and they’d probably all be. So I hope that Apple will get more sophisticated about this over time because I like the concept.

I know some have complained loudly and persistently about iOS13, but if it added nothing but the silence unknown callers, it is completely worth it to me. I was checking my recent calls list for a completely unrelated issue and there was a number I did not recognize from another State. It happened at a time I was using Voice Dream Reader and I had no idea a call had happened. They didn’t leave a voice mail, so as I do with such things, I blocked the number. But, I did not get interrupted, which is fabulous in my book. I have received an increasing number of robo calls in the last 6 months, so this is worth any other issues to me. Just my 2¢ worth.
