I sometimes get the question why I'm not allowing anonymous contributions to #OpenStreetMap via #MapComplete .

I've gotten the question again today, so I decided to write down why I'm not adding nor planning

thanks for sharing your points so clearly and constructively

if it helps to blame the OSMF ;), there's the historical precedent of editors that used proxy accounts getting blocked. Wheelmap gets a free pass mostly because it focuses on one tag and hasn't attracted complaints.

Is that new SSO code that Microsoft contributed useful for MapComplete?

yes, but I'm with the OSMF here. Even of there was no precedent, I'd still not allow this for the other reasons mentioned.
