From a privacy standpoint, i guess. I want to support open scrobbling with listenbrainz and the account isn't directly linked to a real acc. Why shouldn't I/ why don't you?

Why would I care what other people are listening to?

I've discovered many good artists this way

If you listen to X and there is another guy listening to X and Y, one could recommend Y to you. Not only that, you actually have an influence which artist is at the top. You get a database of your listens and anyone, including you, can have a look at mass audio scrobble data.
