Funding review is different than pre-publication or even post-publication review of results.
One argument is that review of results is easier for a reviewee to defend in public, since the data and results are stated and there's nothing to hide. Reviewing funding proposals is more speculative once you get past basic methods or ethics review (e.g. depends on the risk appetite of the funders) and therefore might require anonymity.
This is something we've been grappling at Experiment. It's possible a better design of the system is a double blind review for proposals but a public post-pub review for results.
