"I griefed because my dog sat on my mouse and farted!"
As well as what Nick said, what happens if there is two "Daves"? Then you either can't tell the difference, or can't let one have what they paid for.
Using /whois on a player displays the Nickname first then the actual username.For example, it currently displays the first line as:"myskillzownu is myskillzownu"With a nickname, it would read:"Dave is myskillzownu"However, not every single player will be using /whois all the time.And I would agree with everyone else -- Nicknames would not only make things confusing, but it's also not actually necessary here. Every server is different. If we don't see a beneficial use for a certain feature, why use it?

If we don't see a beneficial use for a certain feature, why use it?How often do you truly need a persons real name?And the ~ at the front would let you know they have a nickname set before you type in your command.The point isn't that it's beneficial, it's just, in my opinion, nice.I'll stop arguing though; the consensus is against it and I see no reason to carry on a lost cause.
