Why do people make their Yahoo Answers profiles private? What's to gain from that privacy in a practically anonymous format?

To make it harder for triggered report monkeys who go through and have your answers and questions removed.

To reduce stalkers and trolls from being able to easily harass them and report their posts

It helps to ward off stalkers and malicious false reporters.

I done it because some boobs go "I just looked at your questions and they're stupid" instead of answering my question. It doesn't matter if I was being stupid the other day, this question could be serious. Although if someone adds me and then I add them back, I think they can see my questions but they're not the sort to do what I just described or they wouldn't be on my list.

Because there are certain people who go through your history and report everything. I have had it happen to me.
