While a good idea, the trouble with a tag like like that is that it requires a database call - user information for every user isn't just natively available to everyone at all times and MyBB provides no way to create a tag with that kind of dynamic functionality. When creating custom tags, you can only supply the MyBB version and its HTML equivilent.
It likely could be accomplished with a little bit of jQuery (or some other AJAX library) but to install the entire library for that one feature when you could just link to the user directly (a bit more inconvenient, I'll admit, but not terribly difficult) seems like a little overkill. The point is though, it's definitely not as simple as just adding that tag.
