This is insane. Why wouldn’t they leave a voice mail? Why do you expect people to be available at all times?
For example, what if I’m in the middle of a bike ride when this person calls back? Or driving? In the shower? Taking a dump? In a sensitive conversation? On the phone with someone else?
This is the whole point of voice mail. There are plenty of reasons people might not answer the phone, even before the “spam call” issue comes into play.
If you are not going to answer unknown numbers, don’t give your number to unknown people.
This is basic logic. Nothing to do with imaginary “normal telephone interaction behaviors”.
So, I shouldn’t put my phone number on my resume?
If you are not going to pick it up, don’t put it on there
So I understand you’ve literally never picked up a cellphone. Do you know what they look like?
I take it you often give random people your number then never answer your phone.
I don’t. And yet people seem to get it anyway, pretty regularly.

Your “basic logic” is extremely flawed.
