Comment:

 Practically speaking, the username can be changed: create a new user,
 delete the old one, re-assign any existing posts to the new user.

 Altering this text is just papering over the problem that changing a
 username is a difficult process, and putting stress back on the person
 installing the site. The vast majority of people never want to change
 their username, so they don't need to see this message.

 I'm inclined to close this issue as a duplicate of #39123.
