Um, in what way is this easier than, well, creating an account?
It's not, but there are a remarkable number of longtime good editors who apparently do not want to create accounts (I've come to recognize some familiar IPs). Part of the experiment is to see what anons decide to do when a restriction is applied - for instance, if we get a surge in throwaway logins and no benefit in content quality, that might suggest the problem is with pseudonymy rather than anonymity.
Can't we change the rule "anon's can't create pages" to "anons with editcount<x timespan <y" can't create pages?

Not as simple as you may think. Often IPs are dynamic and/or shared with others. Some people on them are vandals and others are valuable contributors.
