They say “nothing will change”

I think you're misunderstanding the situation a little bit. They didn't "rename" her account, the article says that @kathleen's visible name was '___kathleen'. What happened is the account got pruned, and the new @kathleen set HER own visible name to '___kathleen', not that his wife's account was renamed to ___kathleen to make room for @kathleen.

Her account didn't get "pruned" they changed her username.

I don't know how you came to this conclusion.

There are instagram accounts kathleen (displayed name Kathleen) and ___kathleen (displayed name kathleen).

FWIW, neither of those accounts are the original @kathleen.
