It is not a privacy policy but a serious misconception much like what keyserver.com and PGP Universal Server did a long time ago. The OpenPGP spec requires a User ID for the on-wire format of a public key. Any implementation which violates this rule is not OpenPGP compliant. The privacy argument on the a user id is layman's idea of the GDPR. In fact the key itself is not different than an IP address or mail address and in fact more stronger personal data or a natural person than the latter. Note that out of reasons of data minimization I would suggest to create new keys only with a mail address and not with any other data. For example posteo.de has such a rule for keys used on their platform; gpg-wks-client even has direct support for such a requirement. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei. Ausnahmen regelt ein Bundesgesetz.
