Interestingly the platform defaults to pseudonym but as we have a flexible view on login provider we could allow a site to say that it wanted real identity and then prohibit your ability to change your username (it would be set at login according to the login provider).
But... to offer real identity as an option is one thing and then the question arises about how many communities truly want this... and the real question that keeps arising isn't about whether real identity should be an option, but why isn't real identity the default, and why offer the pseudonym identity at all.
Thus... are pseudonyms important to the point that they should be default. And if so, why is that?
