1. Not all profiles are anonymous, we don't force people to make anonymous profiles. Making any votes public can cause privacy problems, we don't want to encourage nor enable this sort of activity.
2. Nope, we are sticking with 100% anonymous.
3. Not sure I fully understand this question. Can you elaborate?
I think what /u/FrootLoops means to say is that while the downvoter is anonymous, the commenter isn't. The protection scale is different for one who voices his opinion through commenting, and one who voices his opinion through voting, which creates inequality.
Both options remain a choice, no one is forcing anyone to do anything. Comments can be about anything and cannot be seen as irrefutable evidence of a vote and thus even if a comment is made, the vote remains anonymous.

Well, I think after reading your answer to 2) there is no point in discussing this further. If it's set in stone there is no point in it.

This is how the system works now, so the new functionality is focused on improving other areas but not changing our stance on making votes public.
