I guess also anonymous accounts are useful for WC prep lichess.org/RQTnjMR6

Cause super gms wouldnt recognize a player playing as good as carlsen for example?

Maybe devs should add option to play in dark where from time to time (no stats visible, no spectating mode and your name is bungbunga what ever?
dark mode could also be if you make active max 8h, 10h, 24h.

Honestly Shock'Ding' that WC prep could be so vu'Liren'able

It isn't against the TOS as long as you have a good reason and don't abuse it.

from the TOS

" In select and special circumstances, a user may have multiple accounts (see our Fairplay & Community Guidelines for more information). "

There is more information about what circumstances allow multiple accounts. As of my writing these acceptions aren't restricted to titled players.
