I'm still not quite sure how this could promote illicit activity. If you report someone, SE would still be able to see who's account that report is linked to, even if they changed their name and settings.
It's 100% more convenient to not have to do it in the first place. That's the point. And if a good person can make themselves a shadow to avoid a troublesome individual(s), the same benefit is granted to a toxic person who wants to evade the trouble they've caused. Zoom out and put more thought into what you're proposing or supporting.

Ever hear or read the saying, "Birds of a feather"? You're right, some people are crazy and irrational. Those people tend to surround themselves with others who are crazy and irrational. Hopefully you see where I am going with this.
