Yes they always remove such flags later, does not matter if it's there right now.

This is exactly what I'm afraid of. there used to be chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state-url-scheme-and-subdomains (when I google how to make chrome show the full url bar, this is the recommended answer) but it's been gone entirely for several Chrome versions. I even toggled a flag to undo flag deprecations in Chrome 78 to get this back but that didn't work very long - I think this flag has been totally dead since Chrome 80ish.

I personally don't care much what the default is for the normal user, but I want to be able to have my full urls.

Which is ridiculous, because there’s thousands of these flags for things they don’t have an agenda to see gone.

In fairness, the OP is about another such flag, so the same argument would apply to that one.
