Do you imagine a world where people are willing to go through the legal hassle of changing their name to get past a ban for low effort journal submissions?

Legal names aren’t 1:1 with author names. If they were, who’d verify that?
Validating someone’s association with an institution by name seems like a reasonable thing to do. Perhaps it wasn’t done in the past, but times and circumstances have changed. Trust in authorship is lower than ever, and for good reason.
It likely is, but that’s also on the assumption every author has to be in association with an institution and it’s quick to verify that.
What good reason is there for trust in authorship to be low? I would likely agree for if it’s related to llm-slop.

Even if it's not a legal name, are you going to review the CV of an applicant who used a different name on every publication they claim authorship of? It's going to be pretty obvious someone is being nefarious
The CV of an applicant is definitely different. For a job application where a cv were used, that’s a slower/paid process where attention should be paid to details. However what’s a difference to a conference with a “young upcoming author” vs llm-Lorem ipsum author name?
