Well I'm not an expert on any form of relationships, but why not simply ask for the number?
Yes that's the ideal goal, I should always keep that in mind. But what about the people who are looking for YOU on social media? Or what about your long lost childhood friends who you never exchanged phone numbers with? Instagram can thus be a back up; but ultimately you're right.
I'm certainly more of an exception than a rule regarding those types of relationships, but I use a personal website instead of any social media to publish my projects (I also refer to it when applying to jobs) and frankly don't give a damn about any childhood friends.
But I can see why, this approach may already be too "radical" for many people.
