That wouldn't work very well if you were protesting against a local drug cartel, a fascist dictator or an oppressive state. You'd potentially be putting the whole family at risk.
True there are problems caused by that anonymity. Typically sad schoolboys in their pyjamas typing hate all over the internet when their mother isn't feeding them. But the lack of anonymity would be worse.
Better, I think, to say to a company making significant profit that they must find a way to make it all acceptable. That is probably the best chance of a compromise between letting people speak (and protecting their revenue) and keeping it under control (and protecting their revenue).
