All? Hardly. In fact even some of the ones that should be well known are not to most climbers.

There are many climbers out there who don't keep themselves well informed. Sometimes this is due to the difficulty accessing information. (No common database.)

There are also some fairly unique accidents that arise from chains of events where the risks of the actions are not immediately obvious. Discussions and knowledge of these are can be quite invaluable.

Regarding names and personal information I completely agree that it should be handled sensitively. In coroner reports that is unavoidable due to their public nature. In accident reports I agree that such information is totally unnecessary for chockstone. Ideally they should be made available with such information removed.
