Why can't you change your Steam account name?
Nah, you're stuck with your Steam account name forever. It's the username you chose when you signed up, and it's how Steam tracks who you are. But hey, at least you can change your display name to keep things fresh.

You can't change your Steam account name because it's a unique identifier that Steam uses for your account. Think of it as your social security number for gaming on Steam; it's how you're recognized by the system and can't be altered to avoid confusion and maintain a smooth operation within their vast gaming ecosystem. However, you're free to change your profile name anytime you like, which is what other players see.
Short story: Steam account name = permanent, but display name = changeable. Gotta live with your choices, or just make a new account if it's that big of an issue.
