While 1@ may be impersonal does it really matter when they can just
as easily make up anon.russian@? It's not unreasonable to require
them to identify themselves in the email but the email address is
no proof

I find that annoying, I prefer to use role accounts to deal with
companies, and don't want them tied to personal details for a few
reasons including -

extra admin creating personal accounts, having to keep one of
them as the master is a nuisance when that master one leaves
the company, so you end up making a fake user

people change

many personal accounts = more scope for hacking, each
may be used less often than a shared role account, often
crazy login restrictions lead to an unmanagable mess of
passwords, many expiring quickly and generating lots of
nagging email.

personal account = person likely the share passwords with
their leaked yahoo account as they have too many logins
to change the password on each month

I don't want my personal profile influencing adverts on
business web sites.

RIPE may leak all the details so it adds to the risk
of our personal data being leaked and adds to global pool
of identity theft data.
