the SSN is a broken system, you need to protect it, but anyone can ask for it for any situation you're applying for and you just hand it over.

Well, yeah. If they are going to employ you in a non-contract position they need it for payroll tax purposes but you don’t have to provide it until you accept the position.

You are only required to give your SSN to an employer. Prospective employers can ask for it but you don’t have to legally give it to them. They may not consider your application if you refuse but they can’t compel you.
