Maybe that's because it's a family name. What name did you think they'd use? Smith or something?
I thought it might be Freddie Freeloader-Sponger esq

He could be using a number instead before long.

Look at hanks 😂
You'd think they'd just call him Andrew Windsor.
How many people do you refer to by their full name and include their middle name?

Jorgen Strand Larsen?
Err ...that's his two surnames surely? As in Ruben Loftus Cheek.
Google confirms that Jørgen Strand Larsen’s parents are Atle and Vibeke Strand Larsen.
If 'Mountbatten' were a double-barreled surname, then why wouldn't the other Royals use it? e.g. King Charles Mountbatten Windsor III
I don't know the answer to this anomaly, juts observing that the timing to start calling him by his middle name seems odd.

The Mountbatten family must be delighted by this honour at this time.

Yaxley by wissie
ex Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith - Duncan is supposedly one of his middle names. He also added the extra i to Iain later in life.
Clearly being boring Ian Smith wouldn't cut it.
As you say, I suspect he and his advisors felt 'Ian Smith' sounded dull.
The addition of Duncan added a certain 'gravitas' for a potential prime minister.
The point being, there was a reason, a reason and a timing to why that was done. There almost always is.
The question to ask ourselves is what is the reason in this case. I can think of a few myself.
If I am being charitable the best reason for him is that the name Mountbatten comes with a military heritage and he wishes to emphasise that. Although the spanner in the wheel is that it appears other people appear to have added the name Mountbatten on his behalf.
