Which also risks ending up on the wrong site (e.g. Steam is not at Steam.com). I'd trust Google to know the correct URL more than my guess.

Steam isn't at steam.com, but there also isn't a phishing site for steam at steam.com, and if there was you can bet that valve would do something about it.

Basically I'm trading Google/Bing and ads known to be malicious, for ICANN/registrars, self interested companies, and a reasonably functional "legal" system. Edit: And less tracking, and faster access to websites.
