I remember a time when visiting a website that opens a javacript dialog box asking for your name so the message “hi <name entered>” could be displayed was baulked at.
Why does signal want a phone number to register? Is there a better alternative?

It’s not an argument. Think about regular mobile numbers, are they preventing spams? No.
What kind of spam are you talking about
Scams, girls wanting to chat with you, incredible money opportunities…

I misread the comment you replied to originally (thought they were referring to bot spam prevention)… Signal doesn’t work like the phone network, you can’t necessarily just “call” or “text” a random person. There’s also additional verification before you can send messages sometimes.
