Does telling a user his own username really count as potential exposure of sensitive information?

I guess this could be dependent on your threat model since a threat model for an IoT device is certainly different from a threat model for a standard multi-user system. However, I wonder if a username, which is public information in most threat models for C/C++ software, really should be counted as sensitive information by `cpp/potential-system-data-exposure`.
