Comment:

 I agree with @audrasjb that this is not something that should be changed.

 The WordPress project also does not consider usernames or user IDs to be
 private or secure information. This is outlined in the
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbookWordPress Core Handbook] on the
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing/reporting-security-
 vulnerabilities/#why-are-disclosures-of-usernames-or-user-ids-not-a
 -security-issue Reporting Security Vulnerabilities page]. As presented
 with the information available, the pros of removing this class do not
 outweigh the cons.

 This issue should also become less and less common as more and more block-
 based themes are created.

 I'm going to close this out as a `maybelater`. If more information
 presents itself to strengthen the case to remove this class, it can be
 reconsidered.
