Anonymous companies are a problems for years now, people are hiding their taxable income behind those companies. They are also used to avoid responsibility in case something goes wrong. See the panama papers a few years ago. Delaware is a paradise for those companies.
The NGO Global Witness is fighting anonymous companies for years now https://www.globalwitness.org/en-gb/campaigns/corruption-and-money-laundering/anonymous-company-owners/ https://www.globalwitness.org/en-gb/campaigns/corruption-and...

At least those people hope they can. That is why a public register is important. Companies were never a tool for being anonymous, they were always a tool of distributing risk.
