Chrome 69: “www.” subdomain missing from URL

You can but it prevents you from having other records there, which includes things like an MX record. Just a nitpick, as in practice that prevents most people from being able to use a CNAME on the apex.

I upvoted you because you're correct - it's a failing of the system.

My original point still stands though - we used to use 'http://' and 'http://www.' as a signal that this was a web address. I cannot believe this will still stand in 5 years time. The default is now the domain name, not the phone number.
