Multiple accounts should not be allowed in my opinion. What genuine purpose can be served with this ?

Maybe you want to sell something here that others may frown upon or judge you for. Maybe you want to talk about politics without it effecting your reputation here. Maybe you want an alt account to use on less secure connections. Maybe you want to call out corruption or a scam but don't want to be the victim of possible retaliation. Maybe there are some other valid reasons. There are several reasons why it isn't prohibited as well. Policing alt accounts effectively would be near impossible and not to mention very time consuming and demanding much manpower. If you really wanted an alt account whether they were disallowed or not then you could just use a proxy, and hence why they are allowed, but of course there are negatives as well as positives and people obviously do abuse the rule here.
