Makes it a lot less likely for you to post some garbage clickbait.

Hardly. Buzzfeed, the epitome of clickbait, has author bylines. As does the Daily Mail. Some of the best blogs I've ever read have been anonymous, and the famously high-quality Economist has no bylines. The thing that makes people less likely to post clickbait on Medium is that there are no adverts to pay them for clicks.
