Reputable companies and organisations don't hide phone numbers.

And with todays technology why can't the company PABX present a number
that when called checks your CLI against a list of calls made from the
PABX and connect you through to the phone that called you?

Because not everyone calls back from the number that is used to receive
calls on.

I recieve calls on my POTS number and call back using my voip service,
because that costs me a lot less to call, like 10c for the entire call
anywhere in the country, and to the 3 major foreign countrys I call,
Britain, US and China.

Funnily enough, I do the opposite. Incoming calls to a range of VoIP
numbers, and outgoing calls automatically routed via POTS, at 5 pence per
call (no limit on duration) for all calls to the UK.
