While I am against the policy, Google only publishes developer's full legal name and email address if the app is monetized [0].
If the app is monetized, then the full mailing address is shared.
If money is involved, it’s fair for users to know who they’re dealing with. Developers who want to hide their personal identity can still do so legally with a shell company.
Taking it a step further, if I am going to run your code on my device, I want to know who I'm giving access to my data/cpu/hardware.
Just like with offline transactions, customers should know who they are giving money to.
