The bad thing is that people are forced to give up their username to make it a unique token with people they will never meet and care about.

Question for most people is: Why? Where is the good reason to force this upon everyone?

And even as a techy guy I have no clue to be honest.

Seems a bit dramatic to completely abandon the platform over a username change though, especially since you can still use whatever nickname you want on the servers.
