I agree that pronouncing identifiers over the phone is rare. But I’m occasionally typing identifiers from:
1. a screenshot or a screen share that contains an identifier
2. another device where I can’t easily take an identifier

One feature I do like from crockford32, that base58 lacks, and which also assists transcription from noisy sources, is the check symbol. So much that it is quite unfortunate that this check symbol is optional. In 2023 it's hard to fight the urge to specify a mandatory emoji to encode a check value (caveat engineer: this is not actually a good idea :))
