Why do I only see the display name in the event stream sometimes?

Question from a developer:

On my Dashboard, PlayStream sometimes shows a player's display name, and sometimes their PlayFab ID, even if they have a name set. Why is this?

The order of operations in determining what to show is:

If the event contains the display name (not all do), use that. Otherwise, if we're able to side-load the display name from a cached value, use it. Otherwise, simply show the PlayFab ID.
