Again you are shamelessly arguing "the principle of it all" without actual real world examples of problems.. Cite some real problems and we can have a more productive discussion. It doesn't help to falsely equate hiding "www." with corrupting phone numbers.

Read the linked bug report. Concrete examples were given. A super glaring one to me is that:

m.tumblr.com IS NOT a mobile version of tumblr.com

If I tried, I could likely come up with a ton more, but so could you if you tried.

Already cited elsewhere.

It doesn't help to falsely equate hiding "www." with corrupting phone numbers.

It's a valid comparison. Both are specifiers. It's the same sort of shenanigans with poorly planned "abbreviated" phone extension dialing and outside number prefixes in my company's office causing wrong numbers and accidental 911 dialing.
