I like how they call it a different username just because you have spaces. I don't think that word means that.

No, it literally is. It means some of the systems haven't been coded to be able to handle spaces, so instead of just Space Name Here, you also have Space_Name_Here in the other system/s. Thus, you technically have two usernames.

Now, why that even came to exist as an issue, who knows. Spaces shouldn't be difficult to code around. Inconvenient? Sure, but not difficult. My guess is there's a bunch of legacy code being dealt with.
