This. This is why CCP doesn't offer a name change.
In EVE, you can steal (literally) thousands of dollars worth of spaceships. EVE Investment Bank (dunno the exact name, it is EIB though) is/was a bank in EVE. You can get loans to build stuff. One day, the CEO just took all the money, nearly 800 billion ISK, over 15 grand worth of PLEX's I believe. EBANK was another where the CEO took money from the corp to sell it in real life. With real money trading happening, CCP banned the account but otherwise would have done nothing to stop game money embezzlement.
CCP wants you to keep your name as it is a "you have to live in this universe" kind of thing. However, DUST simply doesn't have that kind of capability, you could easily have a page that states "Formerly known as d1bc-kb4g", and CCP would love the opportunity to charge you 10 dollars for the service. Hell, I would expect race changes for money as well. Gender? Maybe.

In truth, this is not really a reasonable statement anymore. "We exist in the same universe as another IP, that IP doesn't have X, so we shouldn't have X" is essentially the argument. I know I simplified it but I hope I kept the spirit of it. If I have not, please let me know and I will rectify the statement and still try to keep my point.
In EVE, BPO's are used to build stuff. In DUST, they are free things that never run out. Sure, you could state that all suits and weapons are nanite paste and when we buy an Assault Rifle we are really buying a 'license to print an Assault Rifle' so a BPO is just a never ending license but that is STILL vastly different than what it is for EVE.
In EVE, there are no respecs. In DUST, they cost a little less than 20 dollars.
In EVE, there is friendly fire everywhere. In DUST, this is not the case for public matches and most definitely should stay that way for the game to function decently.
In EVE, Plates and Shield Extenders give the same amount of HP for the right sizes. The difference is that there exists an Extra Large Plate while there is not one Shield Extenders. Shield users get the Extra Large Booster instead. (My memory is foggy as I have not played EVE in years but that was the case when I played.)
In EVE, skill are queued to train. In DUST, we are given unallocated Skill Points.
In EVE, 625k ISK will buy you a weak, non-fitted spaceship that breaks the Theory of Relativity by going ~2,400 times faster than light (5 AU a second warp) and has a mass of 1.113 million kilograms. Hell, a ship that has similar mass and speed is given to free to every Capsuleer that docks without a ship. In DUST, that same price would buy two of my Dropships that are capable of flying I think 250 kilometers an hour, are not equipped for space flight, and can be taken by Infantry anti-vehicle weapons. Clearly our money is not on the same scale despite us sharing the same universe.
