I don't know, but it's sort of funny to think about, here are some other questions that make you think: "Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?" and "Why can you get a pizza dilivered faster than an ambulance?"

It is called Alcoholic Anonymous because anything you say within the group is considered confidential. So if you made a murder confession, it is information that can not be divulged to a third party. If it ever is, it would be grounds for an appeal in the case of a conviction. So, whatever you say in the group to gain sobriety is protected and anonymous in the eyes of the world because the group itself is a haven from the outside world for the alcoholic to recover in.
In AA, the compulsory self-introduction is for the sake of self-awareness. The first step of the twelve step program is to admit that you have a problem. So, the self-introduction as an alcoholic means that you have admitted that you have a problem and that is the first step towards solving it.

No last names. And what goes on in the meetings, stays at the meetings. Just like when you go to Las Vagas

Because nobody is supposed to know you're in the group besides the other people in the group.
