While I do agree with you, I do think we should be long past the point of needing to manually enter IP addresses. We have several good service discovery protocols, and DHCP and DNS, which are less great but still has pretty good tooling these days

I am using IPv6 on home network and I don’t know any addresses. Everything picks up the details and assigns address. To access hosts that matter, I use the mDNS names.
