What is the most likely reason Dante included names of historical figures who were a part of his life in Florence?

He wanted to name his enemies so the truth would be told about them even if he could not say it himself. apex

I think the reason why Dante had named those influential people because he wants them the see the truth which he finds difficult to express. Dante is known to be one of the best philosophers in the Medieval Era. Dante is known for his trilogy poems about Christianity called The Divine Comedy
