To be fair URLs look gibberish for most of the world because pretty much no browsers do IRIs and a lot of services are actively hostile to IRIs and IDNs, it is a step up in usability for most of the world to see "just words you type" instead of most URLs.

It's a step up in usability for everyone, including native English speakers who know what https means but can't remember the precise url, but a step down in security from type magic incantation correctly
