Chrome 69: “www.” subdomain missing from URL

It's due to different groups controlling different parts of the infrastructure, allowing for separation of privilege -- and is the whole reason www even existed to begin with.

Often these separate groups aren't part of the same organization. They're a different organization or contractor paid to maintain a web presence.

Yes, but those are decisions made by whoever controls foo.com. This may not be a good decision by Google, but I don't think they should be held responsible for a decision that was made by whoever controls foo.com.

This is completely backwards, because Google just made this decision _now_!
