> What would we lose?

You'd lose the ability to work on and distribute software not approved by your and various other governments. For example, if the UK makes BitTorrent illegal, what happens to you when you've attached your identity to your torrent client when you try to enter the UK (or already live there)?

Security must be solved without removing anonymity.

For example, Bitchat is illegal in India right now, PGP is probably going to become illegal in the EU and UK, and Hypothetical Child Porn Organizer is probably illegal in most places. Tornado Cash is illegal everywhere the US has power, which is almost everywhere.

or not so hypothetical. I did once stumble across an open source project to organise your child porn, hosted on GitHub! I don't remember what it was called.
