It comes with serious downside. Harder to get grants, can't promote your work at conferences and podcasts, nag other devs in person to review your work. And it reduces your chances of getting arrested by 0%.
There's gradations of anonymity, but they have a real cost. If you're super introverted and hate conferences, then sure, use a fake name and photo - that's low opportunity cost.
