Why? Most urls nowadays are unreadable and nonsensical anyway. The only thing that really matters is the domain, and that’s displayed for you in a (hopefully) better way than many users would be able to parse themselves.

Of course, you should always have the option to see the full URL, but why exactly do you need that clutter on display the whole time? It’s like complaining that the browser renders HTML instead of printing it all as unformatted text.
