Given the international nature of the community, GDPR may also be a 
consideration.  That's one of the big challenges these days with data 
protection laws.

I'm not a lawyer, but that *might* be an argument for not requiring 
authentication - because then the users aren't submitting any PII unless 
they choose to (it's not 'required' - nobody ever considers that the 
submitted data doesn't need to be true, though, and the laws generally 
don't account for that).
