What would happen if we mount:
/dev/disk/by-pretty/foo
and some tool later thinks the pretty name should better be 'bar', it writes the name to /sys, we get a uevent, the old link disappears, we get a new link, mount has no device node anymore for the mounted device ...
Why not just return EPERM for a name change if the device is currently open (including mounted)?
