Why in User doctype , Phone has not option set as "Phone"?

I am replicating my question raised here: Why in User doctype , Phone has not option set as "Phone" ? · Issue #6713 · frappe/frappe · GitHub

I was given a task of formatting Phone in an international format system.
Searching about it, there is validation in “Data field” if option Phone is set

github.com

frappe/frappe/blob/develop/frappe/public/js/frappe/form/controls/data.js#L91


      
          				<a class="btn-open no-decoration" title="${__("Open Link")}" target="_blank">
          					${frappe.utils.icon("link-url", "sm")}
          				</a>
          			</span>`
          		);
          
          
		this.$link = this.$wrapper.find(".link-btn");
          		this.$link_open = this.$link.find(".btn-open");
          
          
		this.$input.on("focus", () => {
          			setTimeout(() => {
          				let inputValue = this.get_input_value();
          
          
				if (inputValue && validate_url(inputValue)) {
          					this.$link.toggle(true);
          					this.$link_open.attr("href", this.get_input_value());
          				}
          			}, 500);
          		});
          
          
		this.$input.bind("input", () => {

But as I see in core doctype like User frappe/user.json at develop · frappe/frappe · GitHub
this option is not set.

If where any reason that I am missing ?

Upgrading and adding more sophisticated Phone parsing libs like GitHub - google/libphonenumber: Google's common Java, C++ and JavaScript library for parsing, formatting, and validating international phone numbers. or libphonenumber-js - npm can be valid solution to upgrade this parsing ?
