This has nothing to do with NSTIC and everything to do with what is perceived as valuable in making social networks successful. It may or may not have something to do with Googles minimization model.
This level of pretend identity proofing would not be sufficient for NSTIC.
I expect that google will continue to make pseudonymous federated identity possible (perhaps no longer their default).
They were the ones who insisted on it in openID 2.0.
I don't think this or Facebook's misdeeds can be attributed to NSTIC which is mostly a wish list of things that could or should be part of a future Identity ecosystem.
However I would expect the NSTIC privacy people to say this is what you get in a totally free market solution. Perhaps another argument for a NSTIC type plan.

And Google + is doing it because they think the NSTIC wants real names, when in fact the government is not saying that at all.
I don't this policy has anything to do with NSTIC. I would say it is similar reasons why Facebook has a realname policy.
