That is because some have set a displayname in the user profile, and others not. If a displayname is set, that is shown by lemmy-ui, otherwise it shows @user@instance.
could be mitigated by cute autogenerated icons, like Identicons or Vanillicons
The question was about how usernames are shown, not related to icons at all.
Btw I think that this is a very confusing experience for users.
I agree. You can also see the @user@instance when you mouse over the username, but thats not obvious and doesnt work on mobile. If you have an idea how to improve this, you can open an issue.
