How many website domain names do you really know from memory? With the recent inflation of TLDs we can never be sure if a website is .com, .org, .io, .net, .ninja, .social, .pub, .app, .sh, .xyz and dozens of others.
Personally, I do know the addresses I visit more often and, anyway, recognition is easier than recall.
I used an impartial bot to analyze the note above for propagandistic content. See table below.
While there’s a good point about the increase in TLDs, global names clearly have utility, as shown by the fact that people are willing to pay for them. A system that provides a level playing field and avoids large price increases (like those seen with ENS) would be ideal.
One possible approach is to let users choose their short names, with a tie-breaking method if multiple users want the same name. Bitcoin's UTXO model could be well-suited for this purpose, though Namecoin faced challenges with implementation.

Why does the judgment of "strength" made by a bot matter in any way whatsoever?
Appreciate the perspective! The strength ratings are meant as a guide to highlight key points in the analysis, but they're not absolute. The goal is simply to give structure to the insights, which anyone can interpret as they see fit.
Dozens, if not hundreds. I am sure an average person remembers or can easily come up with at the very least 5 domain names for products and services he often uses just by adding a .com to the companies name. Also if .com is not the extension of the site you are looking for you can quite easily substitute it to other TLDs that make sense in your context and with high probability get to the website you are looking for.
