Usenet has a cost associated with it, the companies and bosses pay the bills, and probably would want some sort of account- ability for what they are paying for (and are responsible for to their bosses and owners). A single anonymous article that was in bad taste, or leaked sensitive data could cause the net to be shut off. With strict accountability, only the offending individual would suffer, not everybody.
