It makes sense that you feel a more positive about it than the average person, but you should be aware that the other 90% that are "annoyed" also have an opinion with which you will never interact
I wouldn't place cold calling on the same level as regular ads, ostensibly I care for whatever I get from the place showing the ads, which might or might not be the case on cold calling (I get that you said that you only called relevant people, but based on the general sentiment, I think we can reasonably say that you're an outlier, and even then ~10% cared enough to answer)
As someone that receives plenty of calls from numbers not on their contact list, it feels wrong that I have to actively distrust, instead of dealing with the problem from the source
, some countries (Like Germany) do ban cold calling, which seems the sane option to me, but I personally don't think America cares enough about privacy to even consider it
