Some anons do make useful comments on pages if they don't know how to edit and what not. Some anons just curse and leave irrelevant comments. Some anons take part in interesting discussion on some blogs. Some anons degrade other user's blogs. While there may be more degrading or irrelevant comments made by the bad anons, I don't think the good anons should suffer the same restrictions that the bad ones would.

That goes the same for known users. We have good knowns and bad knowns. We can assume that they are one person; not the same case for anonymous people (think dynamic IP).
