Facebook and Instagram literally have real name policies and everybody is happy to put where they live in their bio, and it does absolutely nothing to stop racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. I'd say they're all the happier for it, since it allows them to all bond together and victimise people more because they can't hide their identities. I'm less likely to speak out against people when they literally know who I am and where I live, removing anonymity is a double edged sword.
These services literally use GPS to track everywhere you go every second of the day, on a product that requires monthly subscriptions to be useful, tied to your real identity via your bank account. What more is an ID going to do apart from encourage everyone to submit it to any random website that might happen to ask for it, people are bad enough with passwords.
Take a look at Parler requiring identification and then losing it all to hackers, and how that completely backfired, it didn't stop any of the racism, but it did lead to a lot more cyber crime.
