It need to be a balance between the need of transparancy in the legal system and the abuse from court of public opinion (often refereed as trial by media).
It is sadly very common to ready stories of suspects being beaten or receiving death threats after the accused name get posted on social media. The criminals that do this don't get caught near enough to be a deterrent, so I can understand if UK legal system take steps to prevent it.
