I think anonymity is important for some kind of coordination problems (e.g. against an authoritarian government). A better solution is to have a nominal fee, maybe $10/yr to be platformed, that way it's expensive to bot.

this is solid but if I am China what is $400,000,000 to spend on 40,000,000 bots that now we think are real people…

Yeah I think anonymity is important to have available. But I wish not every single social media platform was trivial to bot.

(GP and I disagree on whether every platform should require it)
