The person controlling the website is responsible for making www and non-www show the same thing, as well as making http and https show the same thing. (Redirects are fine.) A user's ability to affect something doesn't automatically mean it's their responsibility.

I'm not making an argument about what should be shown right now, I just think your argument, based on what "might be different", is pretty flawed.

But there's no standard that requires this, that I'm aware of.

Chrome are acting like there is, but I believe there isn't.

There's no standard that says you have to deliver the same data to anyone as far as I'm aware. It's still an absolute abomination if http and https are different sites, for example.
