The problem is that it's entirely possible that there's some little-known codicil of some code which they are in violation of, the rectification of which could at the outside cost as much as they've already invested.

Even if one could trust them to keep one's identity private at launch, I am sure that anything like this would come loaded with the kind of "T&C may change without notice at any time" codicil that would allow them to permit themselves to disclose your identity later.
