Contact scopes are great, thx so much! However, if I want to share only the phone numbers of some contacts with, say, WhatsApp, I frequently run into the "Contact scope full" error message, which renders the feature almost unusable for me. What's the technical reason for limiting the # of contacts?

Nothing new about what is being offered. Everything we've done and do is provided without strings FREE, while Google moves to make you opt-in to their platform for less robust provision or to make OEMS pay for it.
