Unless the entity that vouches for the identity or oversees transactions wanted to limit the ability of some disfavored participants, for some reason.

If your bank wants to stop you from making a transaction they can do so today as well, not sure how this would change anything. The big difference is that now you could verify the other parties identity before the transaction instead of just your bank doing it.

I can see an objection to erasure of cash, but not these identities.
