As the person behind a product, I don't show information because I find the anonymity charming. It's like publishing something under a pen name.
It's a habit I picked up from my first business, where people would be supportive because you're from the same country/race/religion. They'd buy things, bring friends in, and then act entitled because they "helped" you. It also messes with the data, when you're trying to figure out whether you have a valid business model and who your target market is.
60% of the users on my site are from the US, and I worry it might have a negative effect if they see that I'm not. I also presume a lot of product owners leave out their location, because it's probably somewhere in India.
