So here we are again, using yet another obscure technology for a very simple problem solved years ago: a key value store.

Will I have to pay with ETH to have an username linked to my ID?

A decentralized key-value store that is tolerant to an active adversary is not a "very simple problem". A block-chain is actually a reasonable solution for this, see [1].

Not to say it's perfect, for sure.

Thanks, was about to say. If there is a simple, non-obscure solution to this problem, I'd like to know what it is.
