Not everyone is a business with already-public information. I run my

that my personal information is protected by T-Mobile / DT after I
send it to them? Why should I be forced to make this information
public on a website? What's the point if I can just take it down the

They know your email address. :)
It's a cultural and legal German thing. It is quite common when doing
business to want to know exactly who or what kind of company you are
dealing with. And everybody has an imprint or impressum section on
their website
They also have multiple company registries and different types of
company. And they like compliance.
The same kind of regulations exist in the UK, but everybody forgets
about them. You often see business names on websites that don't match
their legal entity; confusions between sole trader (just a person) and a
registered company (limited, unlimited or one of the other types).

"Companies must disclose the following particulars on their business
letters, order forms and websites"
Why t-mobile want to white list, I don't know. But you can be sure they
don't get random spam from random compromised home broadband or cloud
servers.
