Yes, I do think it’s absolutely sensible to make something like this mandatory for people who sell stuff or have some kind of commercial interest.

However, the law is pretty unclear about what is considered commercial interest. This effectively leads to the situation where basically any site of any kind is expected to have an imprint or otherwise, you can expect to get a nice and expensive writing from a lawyer.

It shouldn't be mandatory. You should just be able to attach all your domains to your entry in the commercial register.

Then browsers could query it and show that's it legitimate.

But it's probably really hard to implement for technical and legal and organisational reasons.
