My theory was and will be that Google knew they would have to eventually allow other name types. Meanwhile, everyone that was on the fence, relented and used their real name.
Then when they eventually allow people to do whatever, they look like the good guys.Google is a pro at suggesting data, before gmail everyone was cutelolgirl17263@hotmail.com. Google made a fake gold rush to secure your real name.
IMHO, if that's true, that's brilliant.
