Even with controlled data, this would be a serious breach in the privacy of users...
I don't understand how that would be a breach of privacy. You would be the only one that could edit your own item and any computed field (if that's something we even do) is already available in the Public API anyways, so this isn't exposing any additional information to anyone.

I mean I think that would be best.
For instance, my Global user info can be found here:
https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action="">
This reports that my global user id is 50584396. So I think my id on wikidata would ideally be U50584396. The separate namespace keeps user items separate from all other items (just like how user pages are separate from Article pages on Wikipedia)

Completely agree, that makes total sense to me and is consistent with user pages.
