In the olden days it kind of had a justification because directory assistance was free and presumably if you had an unlisted number people would be bothering the D.A. operator for your number, plus there was also semi-listed which omitted the number from the phone book but had it available from D.A.. Nowadays they justify it because they lose revenue by not being able to sell your data. You can list your number without an address but with a fake name. This avoids the monthly charge.
