It's not about trusting some idiot. It's about attaching your identity to your activities online. I remember when these websites used to advise against doxing yourself.

I mean this whole process is explicitly for the purpose of attaching your identity to your online activities. If you don't want to do it, just don't.

I shudder to think of what will happen when hackers inevitably get into Twitter servers and steal all those IDs though...

It has already happened before. It will happen again.
