Good point. While I provided a bunch of examples, I didn't exhaust the number of examples of this trend. Search is another, and so are mobile experiences (beyond the App Store).
At least with search there's a degree of "infinite" in the results. Of course, the results are defined by SEO and robots.txt files, and so aren't as egalitarian as URLs, but search engines are another example of the increasing minimization of URLs in interfaces.
