But user accounts helps reduce spam, save profiles and enable cross platform syncing.
Sure you could do something like have a user account-like process, which involves unique ids and all that jazz. Except, at that point, you're making a user account with 10 more steps.

Sure, that's still a user account, but no email or phone number or other stuff required (unless you want notifications, or to be able to reset your passphrase). And maybe prefer procedurally-generated identicons rather than photo avatars if you want a visual aspect.
