This actually has very little to do with trust, and (as Roger said)
these providers were chosen because of the difficulty of creating new
accounts. Out of curiousity, what are you actually worried about?
Personally, it is sad that you need a phone number when you create
these accounts over Tor, but if retrieving bridges is important (and
it usually is), then there are usually ways to do this safely.

Another distribution method is currently being written and we will
write others in the future, but please help us provide another way
(yes, you, please help us if the current situation is unsatisfactory!).
The more people we can safely help, the better.
