Literally nobody thinks its impossible to memorize 4 8-bit numbers. A bad user experience, sure.

> I have a few memorised, mainly some TLDs and Internic. With those I can "bootstrap" using DNS/FTP to get any other address.

Pretty sure that's true of 90% of everyone here, since all you really need to memorize is a public dns resolver, and 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1 .1 is a particularly easy address to remember.
