Because that's how it works for about all sites with login information that use a login name and a password.

You can never change your login name since no one else should ever know it and it never needs to be changed.

use the search, been brought up multiple times


you can only change your profile name, the log in name cannot be changed. currently, no one at steam is working on it, the last time someone was working on trying to make it possible was years ago and that person left steam years ago.

the database was set up poorly, your log in name is the KEY FIELD that ties all the other tables of the database together. changing your log in name would wipe out everything you have on the account. making it possible is a risk vs reward thing, the risk is far to high vs the reward which is extremely low.

It's not "impossible", the system isn't designed to do it and a handful of users who want fuss over it isn't that compelling of a reason to change it. There's nothing wrong with the username (not display name) being immutable. It's a perfectly valid implementation.

And there's potential downsides too, like you change the account name and forget it, may make it harder to recover. Or hijackers change it. Not saying it's bad for sites that allow you to change usernames. There's prod and cons, and they're often not enough to drive the current implementation to change.
