Yet, most of the time, we're using usernames to hide our identity because we don't want to have our real life connected directly with internet strangers.

A sterile virtual environment ran by a company that makes money on me giving them my personal info? Not sure I'd want that.

Plus, the fact that this is going to be a VR clone of Second Life without the anonymity and most probably without all the rated M stuff makes me rather sad. A big missed opportunity.
