Callers with blocked caller ID get screened by Google for me, and I rarely ever hear from them -- but I get a
ton of calls from people who either have spoofed numbers or who have temporarily picked up a "source" number based in my area code.
It's gotten to the point where if it's a local call I almost always assume it's spam, but I still need to answer.
If it's a doctor's office trying to make an appointment, for instance, then getting through to the same person who knows why you're trying to make the appointment so you don't need to give them 100x as much information yet again? Yeah, at that point it's much better to just answer a few spam calls instead of ignoring all of the unfamiliar numbers.
I have a kid in college and another in high school. A dead phone could mean I could be getting a call from one of them from any number. I just can't ignore them all.
I'm happy for you that your life is simple enough that you can just ignore anything you don't recognize, but try not to act as if the rest of us are doing something wrong because we're happy that the FCC is attacking the underlying problem and ignoring the pain we need to deal with.
