Hotlinking and predictability are two different things. For predictability, no there's not much you can do about it as that's how we SEF the links; they need to be unique so that leaves ID, Username, or Email and Username is the most URL friendly/accurate.
For hotlink protection you'd need to develop a new CB plugin that checks the referrer on the profile request trigger and redirects to somewhere else if it's not from your site. This means if the link is added to a website other then yours it won't lead to the users profile and instead takes them wherever you redirect them to.
