Boy oh boy, it sure is a mystery why democracies have people vote privately
You only get to vote privately because the system can still verify that each person only gets to vote once.

Yeah. For major things. For trivial stuff like choosing lunch place people usually do public voting.
Wrong comparison. in state votes it's done to prevent bribing here you can share your activity and create as many accounts as you want.
