Full Names for both Pilots and Controllers

Why is it we always see Full Names with Pilots (high %), but on controllers we see first names, or other name , but not Full Name.  (not all controller and not all zones, but a lot)
Should not both be displaying full names ?
Only ask as would be nice to have parity and know who is who in the controller area.

The requirement for full names was removed in a Code of Conduct update.  You can see the policy now here:

    • (3) Their real given name. (e.g., Joseph).
