Ironically enough, Facebook effectively support anonymity more than Google+ and that will keep a significant number of people off of Google+.
Consider, however dubious I might find Facebook, the only thing that I would move to is something like what diaspora promised - a less corporate, more anonymous platform. I won't move to Google+ no matter and so some number of my friends won't find me there ever. A small number of my friend have talked about moving to G+ yet are still on Facebook. I suspect this dynamic will protect Facebook until something offering a more desirable platform comes along - G+ calling itself an "identity platform" seems to scream that Google will be selling its members even more than Facebook sells us.
