It's the same in e.g. ACM conferences; indeed there is a developing scandal surrounding organised fraud in ACM/IEEE conferences (conferences are more prestigious than journals in CS, unlike other fields) facilitated by this very mechanism.
The reviewers themselves are not really anonymous are they? In general I think it's usually pretty well known who the reviewers for a given journal/conference are, even if this isn't explicitly published. The papers themselves are usually anonymised, but that's a different matter, no?
