> I think in most ways it's better, it makes the web more approachable to less technical users

There's a big gap between looking up someone's contact info using a protocol that many tools and websites implement (anyone can open www.who.is from search results) and the second example of needing an understanding of HTML to make a webpage. I don't think it's gatekeepey to be able to email the human behind a given website, whereas the current internet is full of walled gardens, gatekeepers, and faceless/supportless services (thinking of Discord, Cloudflare, and Google as respective examples)

We can have both human-run services and WYSIWYG website builders on the internet concurrently
