And for that matter, why do I want to have a "username"? Why can't I just use my
email address,

What happens when you want to change it?

I have to remember which contortion of my usual username wasn't
already taken by some previous user of the system. GAAAAH!

As opposed to remembering which email address you used?

Picking a username is hateful, an account tied to an email address is hateful. Our community here is perhaps uniquely blessed by this situation where there is juicy hate available no matter which choice is made.

Myself, I think the idea that one should have to have an "account" on most websites is itself hateful.
