You're not really moving your account - you're just migrating your followers over to the new one. If people try to reach you at the old handle they won't get through, like a dead email address.

That said, I don't really think this is such a big problem. The reason the AT protocol was invented is because they wanted to do their own thing rather than adhering to standards.
