I know, it's a name field in kind 0 but for the convience it's displayed as your own 'username' which can be updated later on. NIP-01 describes the value for the name field as a username ;) But most user won;t care, especially not when onboarding. The only thing they need to take of is remembering their password and store their ncrypt/nsec somewhere (which is taken care in nstart in a neat way).

In Nostr I would use “nickname” instead of “username,” equally clear and less prone to misunderstanding. For example, “username” is usually needed to log in, and the user would be confused when the time comes and he finds out that with the password he is asked for ncryptsec instead.
