Well, that would have been the entire history of computing right up until the point that the government starts fiddling with operating systems so ultimately we'll have to provide proof of identity to download or install software.
I know you kids are too young to remember this, but back in the day there used to be a cartoon from The New Yorker, "on the internet nobody knows you're a dog". Very quickly it appears that many jurisdictions are trying to make sure that it is built into the frameworks of computing that everyone will know exactly that you're a dog.

Glad someone actually knows their history🤝.
Let’s bloc up, and ensure nobody knows who we are in the internet. Squeak Squeak.
