In our message we are already stating basic info ("publicly displayed username") which per your quote is missing from Wikimedia form.

> advising users to not use their real name as a username.

what reason for that would be, beyond what is obvious from it being publicly displayed?

> surely I don't need to explain why it is advisable

then why we would need to do it in the message you mention?
