BDO?

Ask for salary range to make sure it’s worth the time. If salary range is attractive why would you not take the call?

Practice and because you never know what’s out there. Would also be interesting to see what they offer if it gets to that point. No obligation to actually take the job. If you think there’s even the slightest possibility you could be interested, why not? If you know absolutely you won’t be interested, then weigh the time investment.

Have the call. If the role and pay are undesirable, then don't go through with the process. An intro call does not commit you to a whole interview process.
