Problem is that a big part of the incentivization structure of the scientific world relies on citation counts. Publishing anonymously doesn't give you any credits. This is part of the reason why experiments with negative results often never get published[1]. Writing a scientific paper takes time—which could be instead used to write the next high-impact paper.
