KYC isn't the only use case. There are other situations in which you would
want to confirm who is sending you money. Making it *required* would of
course be a horrible idea, but allowing people to identify themselves, in
many cases with an online-only identity that isn't tied to their real world
identity, will be very useful to newly-developing use cases.
