To be clear, the "www" is only missing from the URL that is displayed in the address bar, while the browser is still attempting to resolve and fetch the URL with the "www." So instead of something that would completely break many websites, this is just something that is as confusing as hell for no good reason. When a website requires "www" to resolve and respond, who in their right mind would want it hidden in the displayed URL?
