My bf is using his ex’s name for his Netflix profile and says I’m overreacting.

We literally share the account. Every time I log in I have to see "Jessica's Profile" and when I asked him to change it he said it was too much effort and 'nostalgic'.
The full story
ok so my bf (21m) and i (20f) have been dating for like 8 months and it's been pretty good. a few months ago he gave me his netflix password and when i logged in i saw there were like 4 profiles. one was his, one for his sister, one was a generic "guest", and one had his ex's name on it. at first i was like whatever, kinda weird but i didn't wanna start drama over a netflix profile lmao. so i just made my own and ignored it. but then a month ago, his profile somehow got deleted. so instead of making a new one, he just started using his ex's. and he CHANGED the little profile icon to a new one but KEPT THE NAME. so now when i log on i see "Jessica's Profile" with his new avatar and all his recently watched stuff. it's so weird and it feels so disrespectful lowkey. like you're actively using the profile named after your ex?? i finally brought it up last night. i was like hey could you maybe change the name of your profile, it's kinda weird for me to have to see her name every time i want to watch something. and he got super defensive. said it was "nostalgic" (???) and that he didn't want to lose all the recommendations the algorithm has for that profile. he said it's too much work to change it and i'm making a big deal out of nothing. am i?? it feels like such a small thing to ask and the fact he's fighting me on it is what's making me feel like it's a huge red flag. ngl i'm this close to just deleting it myself.
