It’s definitely a welcome move, but when I try it (obviously by registering a new account since it’s not rolling out yet), most decent usernames I can come up with are already taken. A next good move would be releasing old, unused email addresses for others to claim (or even bid for, as X and Proton did). Although this would probably mean opening up another huge rabbit hole, which Google likely won’t be bothered to deal with anyway, so……Meh.
