You don't have to do it, simply it's much faster than to wait for manual verification by stuff. If you prefer to wait you're free to keep the profile private.In this case I'll open a ticket asking for manual verification.

I only wanted to run a scan against non activated wins - with a public profile it takes 1-2 minutes

Ps. In case you don't know the site doesn't validate if the users abide the rules, usually the checks are done by GA creators and most of the time the administration only penalizes users reported by other people.
