This is true. I know someone with a legal first name that’s two words. He’s a kid I work with. His parents made a point that his name isn’t one or the other, it’s both, and we are to address him as such.
To my understanding (as a non-tech person who consumes tech-related media), name fields are commonly culturally biased. Usually it impacts last names, which can vary in size and layout across the world, sometimes including hyphens (which some systems don’t like either.) Super short or long names also run into problems. Not everyone has one first name, one middle name, and one last name, but a lot of systems aren’t designed to handle that kind of variation.
Because even if a space at the end of the name should be considered invalid, people can have names with spaces inside.

There’s a lot with “name must be 3 or more characters” for example
