What's the point of confirmation or user interaction, when nobody knows how to read a URL, and they just click the goddamn accept button?

The user doesn't need to know the exact URL to confirm an interaction they've just started.

The point of the confirmation is 10% account creation and 90% confirming that the user knows their own email address and can type it in correctly. That's actually more challenging to the wider audience than you might think.
