That at least is an easy one to answer. If your handshake looks different
(and any anonymous mode will, unless you use TLS 1.3 and some aggressive
padding), then you open an invitation to MitM. Have them look identical,
and it gets harder to mount an undetectable attack. Not to mention avoiding
code complexity.
