That's the desired outcome, not a downside.

Desired by... the same people as the ones communicating? In the majority of cases or in the minority?

Desired by the informed majority of the general population.

Ham Radio's "Self Policing" aspect is a huge asset to both the Users and the Regulatory authorities. It's what makes Ham Radio work.

However Self Policing relies totally on user self-identification.

If we allowed anonymity, Ham Radio would become as unusable as CB radio has.

To put it another way, if you want anonymity, use CB radio.
