You only see the case from one points of view. If you change your points of view and see it as an individual (not a company) who holds a domain, you might change your way of thinking. It might be of no problem for companies that anybody has their address but not a person. There are some threats against a personal privacy from criminals. Because name and address can gives criminals a possibility to access more critical information about this user. If someone wants to stop any spamming activities, he or she can legally ask for those information with the reason of spamming but exposing such critical information to public is against privacy rights of an individual and allow criminals to do more fraudulent activities with real personal information or some fraudulent companies to use this opportunities to pre-sell their products and submit it to those addresses. I see a big range of attacks by only this simple information exposal.
