For a user, changing their account (probably creating a new user, since rename apparently doesn't change the directory), is something they can do.
Changing all software to respect their perfectly valid name isn't something they can do.
They shouldn't need to change their name, but if they do, they can ignore all the broken software and go about their day.
This particular user is more capable than most, and found a workaround for this particular problem, which is good... But this is not likely to be the last of the problems.
