Username changes certainly doesn’t end loyalty bots in any way. Not having an endpoint that’s similar to chatters but provides user ID’s is not a problem, just an inconvenience, as there are ways to translate username into user ID already which allows these apps that track users to keep the usernames in their database current. Yes it is additional API calls compared to before usernames could be changed, and yes there could be a better solution implemented but it certainly doesn’t break any loyalty bot that adopted to tracking by user ID when this change was announced last year.
