I don't see how Google is losing with this. I doubt the store reviews matter to them. For example would it bother them if an app gets 50 reviews instead of 500? I wonder if this will make any difference to final review scores which is the real test.
There is a trend in many places to remove anonymity such as when commenting. Note how many places do not allow anonymous comments any more. Heck some only let you comment with an (allegedly) strong identity such as Facebook.
Google is always going to do what is in Google's interest - we really don't matter to them.

"I don't see how Google is losing with this."
Yeah, except for maybe the outraged developer in the link.
