Not everyone wants to wear a mask in public. Free speech requires anonymity and pseudonymity to remain a possibility, but most humans are just fine with a single all-purpose identity.

Yet you'll find exactly nobody walking around, in public, with all of this information on their shirt. People seem to treat the internet as safer than real life public.

It is common to find all of those in real life "forums", like conferences and meetups: name and company on the badge are very common, and rough location is typically easily deducible.
This is mostly the "the sociability/sanity filter that exists in their immediate circle" I was referring to.
