I mean yes, but there’s no escape from the fact that ip addresses need to be longer as amount of devices on the internet already exhausted the pool of IPv4 addresses by multiple orders of magnitude.

I guess it could be possible to implement sort of mnemonic phrases for addresses, à la bip-39, but it would be just trading one kind of pain for another.
