Why not only make new reviews non-anonymous and disclose it?

Clearly they've made a product decision that they don't want anonymous reviews shown on the site any more. You'd have to ask them why.

Only applying this rule to new reviews would still mean deleting or hiding their existing anonymous reviews, which they don't want to do.

I think this is a really bad policy, personally.
