The personality/ies of who wrote Shakespeare is, to a large extent, a cul-de-sac; an interesting diversion, but a diversion none-the-less. It is always the message that is important, and not the messenger. :hock::
From what I have absorbed so far, and I stress again that I have just dipped my toes into the subject, is that the "anti-Stratfordians" feel that knowing the name of the messenger improves our understanding of what exactly the message was meant to be.
Just as an aside, I find it interesting that the businessman Shakspere appears to have had no fear whatsoever of the Star Chamber or any other authority. The no-doubt complex reasons for that, no matter whether the man was a dramatist or just a front man, so far elude me.

I can press a button and change the channel by remote control.
It's just another movie, another song and dance,
Another poor sucker who never had a chance.
It's just another captain goin' down with the ship,
Just another jerk takin' pride in his work."
