Even if it were practical to mask the username, you're screwed if you ever have two accounts for the same site/service in your Authenticator app (i.e. SiteGround does list their's only as "SiteGround.com", at least as of when I added 2FA, whereas every other service is either only my username or username at site URL).
So I'd personally call this expected/preferred behavior.
