On a phone there simply isn't space to display much more than the domain name. Picking some subset of the URL to display is unavoidable, and the domain name usually going to be a better subset than the obvious other options of the start or the end of the URL. As such I see nothing wrong with it there. On desktops you do typically have enough space to show the full URL, so I dislike it showing only the domain name.
