Yes! Privacy, security and harm/abuse mitigation must be one of the considerations when you're writing a project. This isn't even anonymity, these are basic safeguards one should put in place. Not doing so is like selling a car with no seatbelts, and arguing that there's nothing wrong with that unless you're specifically manufacturing to defend against car crashes.

This isn't like the argument about how many tests you should have and what kind; this absolutely must be one of the key things to consider when you're creating a project that's going to be used by people to communicate with one another.
