Creating G+ Page's for Youtube isn't tied/doesn't require having a G+ Profile. If you don't have one on an existing gmail address it just creates a disembodied Page while your main account continues G+-less. Granted new @gmail's come with G+ profiles so someone who wants to be anon has to go through the effort of putting in a fake name/DOB then deleting the profile. But fake name/DOB were required for a @gmail.com even before G+ existed, so the only thing which has effectively changed is the busy work of deleting the profile. So I stand by the statement that Youtube anonymity is in reach.
As for the rant, random brokenness/inadequate customer support is hardly a trait limited to G+, it extends to all their products.
