Convex tokenIdentifier vs Clerk user ID

Why does Convex use the

tokenIdentifier

tokenIdentifier

instead of the Clerk user ID on the

UserIdentity

UserIdentity

in Convex functions? What exactly is the

tokenIdentifier

tokenIdentifier

(at least in relation to the Clerk user ID)? I did look at the OpenID Connect spec for answers, but was not enlightened

I'm also aware none of this may be specific to Clerk, but that's what I'm using.
