something to hide?
My guess is to prevent their comments/posts from potentially linking to their real lives, even if /u/SausageTaxi does innocuous stuff. Given enough activity and time, you could probably learn a lot about redditors. You may even learn their first name, where they live, their age, their occupation, their income, their race, their hobbies, their living situations, actual real life events, their pet names, etc.
You can learn a lot from that whole picture. What if somebody recognizes certain details and want to confirm this person? etc etc etc
