ggppdk, hello again, and thank that take notice for me 
maybe my arguments to convince you
why i did it ? i try give more social functions for site, based only on FC
Idea about User profiles discussed on forum more than 4 years and mechanism is - category(type) as profiles sharing long time ago, but not released.
I see 2 way decisions for profiles - create new views or do it with categoryes/types
In FC no 'view' 'user' or 'userlist' (for comparison in com_cobalt there is 19(!!!) views, including users) - but it can do with types(categories)
add - in global component config option - where user define category whith be a profile category, or create default this category.
As i think it more useful than if i (or somebody else) install FC + CB and try to integrate 2 components - same result we see if it be in FC only - and more productivity - avatars, canvas, other field - can create in FC as fields -
relations with articles and authors - as relation field.
Why router?
At first - we can see as default joomla route create id and "-" everywhere - but how need it? As example - social media - VK, Facebook user profiles - as /id113245
If alias no need or it no play great role why use it?
Consider wider we can create type in flexi for every as we want - but route be as default for this everything content.
as example - real estate catalogue - default aliases be as site.com/houses/123-house-in-somewhere
but advance route can do site.com/houses/house123 or site.com/houses/id123 (or site.com/houses/house-in-somewhere)
and it retranslate as substr($segments[1], $somevariable); where $somevariable - number of characters
But it's not about only to remove id!
In cobalt component we can (as say on its forum) define url in file /language/en-EN/en-EN.com_cobalt.ini
If add in configuration of component select or define custom url type - would that be bad?

SEF_ITEMS="items"

SEF_USER_ITEM="user-item"
SEF_VWITEM="vwitem"

joomla feature - is permanent work with other people's code
I temporarily installed CB - and what i see? -
1 - very hard to customize CB
2 - great spagetti code(for front-end dev) in template CB
3 - no integration with FC - all links to author items as /component/content/article/23-profile/4-super-user?Itemid=101
why not make all in one place? and it place be a FC
in FC - all code transparent and convenient
you have the right to decide as you think best
