From what I read on Wikipedia, this wasn't supposed to be a KYC-related device so I'm not sure I see the point you're making. Almost every banking/investment/trading/payment provider out there routinely have a KYC mechanism in place to avoid throwaway accounts being used for money laundering (And this is mandated by regulation), so this is definitely a thing. (I'm not particularly advocating for it since it would have serious privacy and freedom of speech implication, but claiming this is an impossible problem is a gross oversimplification).
