This is what guests (non-registered visitors) see when they click on your profile:

Remember, since anyone can register, spam bots do register from time to time so not showing your profile to the public is not really an anti-spam measure but it is a way of forcing non-registered members to register. Another old way of trying to force people into registering and get the member count up.

Please also bear in mind that your emails are never shown, be it to members or guests.

As you know, we couldn't care less about member count and we do not want dead accounts so...

Should we allow non-registered visitors to see your profile?

We would like to allow them to see member profiles, the same way that logged in users can see each other. We don't see anything wrong with allowing it.

Thoughts?

My info is available all over the internet, I don't mind it being hidden or visible.

I personally don't see anything wrong with it, as long as the emails are hidden.
