I was wondering about exactly the same thing, had to use Safari for work recently and not seeing the URL was extremely confusing.

In preferences it’s simply a check box to have it show full URLs in safari all the time.

Yes, as someone who only occasionally uses a Mac, I always think Safari is broken until I remember Apple tries to hide everything from you for your own good.

This might be news to you, but many apps on Mac actually have preferences that allow you to change their behavior. That's one of them.

If you can't do anything, you also can't do anything bad!
