 I don't think cluttering the URL with unnecessary stuff is friendlier. For example, I always hated blogposts like domain.com/2024-11-08/This-is-a-blog-post-title-with-a-trimmed when they could have been just short ids. I won't believe if you tell me I am out of touch with the normie reality, because I don't think we have any proof that /nevent1... links are less friendlier, I think this is all a question of status quo bias and getting used to. 
 I dont have a position either way. Just asked asked a question to see if yall do. 
 Well, speaking URLs are generally useful because more informative, you can know what you are going to open, and so make an evalutation on that. But in the proposed form, just the author while keeping the (necessary) nevent code, are useless imo.
