UUIDv7s are much worse for creation time though imo. For sequential IDs an attacker needs to be have a lot of data to narrow the creation time. That raises the barrier of entry considerably to the point that only a committed attacker could infer the time. With UUIDv7 the creation time is always leaked without any sampling. A casual attacker could quite easily lookup the time and become motivated in probing and linking the account further |

When sequential integer ID's are externalized, an attacker does not need creation times to perform predictive attacks. All they need to do is apply deltas to known identifiers.
