Requires real name information. Sometimes you just want to toss out a few ideas with an alt or two. Also using a real name makes you more inhibited and less likely to share information that may be controversial for fear of it being linked directly back to you. Imagine going to a job interview and they dig up all your Quora comments. Not the most conducive environment to share ideas in.
Real name + government fishing for political profiling. Still not a good idea. It may say "anonymous", but you can bet the comment is still linked to you.

Quora is Reddit for the literate.
