You're ignoring a direct quote in favor of a Wired reporter paraphrase (one which mentions sharing links, no less). They cite an earlier effort, which was a display change. This issue is for a display change. None of this points to "trying to do away with URLs".

Except for that "trying to identify an alternative" part. But let's ignore that, because doing so makes you comfortable.
