Right, which is exactly what is happening in this case, isn't it? User
name is simply not revealed to the deep history viewer or in the
/browse pages on osm.org. I was just saying that OSM used to allow
users to go anonymous with a checkbox but that option is no longer
available. It is however still honored for users who selected it back
when it was available.
