The obvious reason that the commenters remain nameless in theory is to avoid tit-for-tat retaliation for comments that the author didn't like. Of course it can be used to abuse the process by hiding the fact that these people were reviewing each others papers and it was no secret to the authors who was doing the reviewing.
