I was watching several videos of Magnus Carlsen playing on Lichess, and each video, he had a different username. Hikaru Nakamura, on chess.com (no offense) also has multiple accounts.
Why is that?
To hide their opening prep. To play drunk. To speed run (btw speed running is NOT allowed on lichess.)
They use it for different reasons like for instance, if a gm used one for challenging people, and the other for studying and learning and stuff like that.

because they can get away with breaking the tos because lichess and chess.com want them on their sites.

Side note, which one do you play on, because on this one I see only forum posts.
