My OS should have no details on me besides the account name which didn’t necessarily correspond to my real name.

Linux has similar fields for realName, emailAddress, location, timezone and more. But like birthdate, I think they're all optional. Was Linux ever used for massive multiuser systems? I thought it had always been primarily home use and internet servers. I think big multiuser systems went out of fashion with Solaris. Well, I suppose corporate workstations need user accounts where some of these are set.
