This reasoning doesn't make sense to me. A spammer can make an account, but how would they contact me if they don't know my account handle?
Even if that leaks, the handle should be changeable, and the spam issue could be completely mitigated by having a tab for first time "message requests" separate from the normal inbox.
I can't take a private messenger seriously when they require an identifier that's linked to your government-issued ID in many parts of the world.
