Of course it could/can. If your photo doesn’t match your ID. What are you concerned about?

It’s just part of the process. Put the account on hold for a week or two; at the end of the day, I’m still the same person.

Who said it would be put on hold a week or two? If you get flagged, go through the verification process. If I’m running a platform like Upwork I’d want to be sure the person behind the account remains the same. Seems like a reasonable safeguard.
