Mainly because it’s lost it’s novelity. all browsers automatically search for it so it’s not something people need.

The browsers do no such thing. Domain names and servers are usually configured to redirect traffic as needed, but if you expect traffic on www.yourdomain.example the browsers won’t redirect yourdomain.example to it unless you explicitly tell them to.

ah my bad, it’s at the server end, point still goes from the user end, there’s almost nowhere that they would go in which they have to type in the www.
