Why can't you change your username at HN?

A little while ago I started replacing my username at (semi-)professional websites. With a less childish username. Since I consider HN as one of those websites I would like to change it here as well. There is, however, no option to do so at my account page. Why?

Why not just make a new account?

HN is like an old school LP MUD. You can't change your name.
