You can name branches in JJ too, they're just called bookmarks.

git checkout main git pull git switch -c jira-234 ... git commit git push -u origin main

jj git fetch jj new main ... jj commit jj b(ookmark) c(reate) jira-234 -r @- jj b(ookmark) t(rack) jira-234@origin jj git push

Right, this is a good point: you can if you want to, or if you're working with a system that requires them.

Just in practice, anonymous branches end up feeling very natural, especially during development, and especially if your code review tooling doesn't require names.
