Looking at the source code, it appears to be intentional.

04695a7c5b/packages/better-auth/src/types/options.ts (L292)

However, I wonder if this is necessary, as I would also like to be able to rename the primary key columns.

@Kinfe123, I see you closed this as completed, but it seems like it is still not possible to change the id column name. Tested on 1.2.9.

I looked at the relevant lines in the main branch, and it seems like the necessary changes haven't actually been made.
