If my passport says my name is the same as a famous person then should I still be verified? This whole anyone can be verified for $8 a month had zero chance at success.

Yes of course. As long as you don't claim to be that person with your picture its of course not a problem.

Also, it isn't very common problem that people with the same name try to pretend to be that other person. It cuts the potential people who would want to impersonate from 10s of millions to like a couple.

This same name issue is a tiny marginal problem dismissing the idea of paid verification based on that is crazy.
