That's the point. You can be anonymous without leaving any trace on the web. Only if you follow the necessary security precautions. Unfortunately, most developers and people involved in crypto don't care about their privacy/anonymity. Most of them want to attract VCs, and institutional investors just to get enough funding to "pump" their coin all the way to the moon. And the only way to do that is by revealing who they are.

If developers were anonymous, investors are going to believe the project is a scam. That's the issue. Crypto figures like Charlie Shrem, and Roger Ver are ultimately paying the price of revealing themselves to the public. Who's to say Vitalik Buterin, Charles Hoskinson, and Gavin Wood are next? If everyone followed Satoshi's footsteps, crypto land would be a much better place.
