Amazing that something as simple as a hierarchical address can be so complicated at the same time.
Like why is the domain big endian and the path small endian? Leads to endless confusion and has been a source of many fraud attacks.
On the other hand a post address is equally unnatural. Street name-> street Number-> Postcode is not in consecutive order of significance. Yet everybody handles such without problem.
A big factor is also unreadable query strings like ?q= instead of simple paths like /search/.
