Those are provided by the system.  LiveCode merely allows you to access 
those globals, but is not responsible for creating them.

If mobile OSes provide an API for obtaining the user name, it might be 
nice if there was a single function called something like userName for 
this, using the globals where the OS provides them or the API where the 
OS provides that.
