I like Chi13's thinking on this. I was reminded of how in ATLA Iroh refused to fight Ozai becaus ehistory would see it as more senseless violence, a brother killing a brother to gain power. Even though we all might want to know who Amon is and whether or not he has a connection to Aang or Korra, it undermines his story to know his identity. Throughout the series, Amon has made good points about how the power of bending has been misused. Those valid points will get lost if it turns out head some personal vendetta against the Avatar or Republic City.

Someone else suggested that maybe Amon is working for someone else, maybe the villain of Season Two, which makes sense. But it would also be a good story if one of A,on's followers takes up his mantle when he's defeated--the idea that defeating one terrorist will cause ten more to pop up to take his place. This would make the revolution legit and force benders to really examine the way bending has been used to oppress non-benders, rather than just defending themselves by saying that bending is the coolest thing ever.
