Hear, hear. Just because something -looks- like it has the qualities of a sequence, order, or other meaning outside of that one thing which it is: an identity, doesn't mean that you can reliably use it for that other purpose. I don't care if it's a UUIDv7 or am autoincremented-integer-of-some-sort: you're getting a record ID and nothing more. Mistaking and ID for something more is the best preparation for some poor soul's headache at some point in the (possibly distant) future.
