Why can't we take old, inactive accounts usernames?

Twitch's "recycle" policy is misleading and they're not true to their words.

I've been waiting 6 years to claim my old account's usenrame. According to the recycle policy, it says it'll take 6 months to 1 year before inactive usernames can be reclaimed by somebody else.

I can't be the only one who's been waiting to reclaiming usernames??????????
