This is only visually what's displayed in the address bar, similar to how they started dropping http/https from the start of URLs a while back. While I'd personally disagree with these kind of changes, and I would always prefer it to show the http/https and the www dot, it doesn't actually break things like copy and pasting the URL from the address bar. You still go to www.google.com when you type in www.google.com, it's just trimming away the www dot displayed in the address bar. I think for the vast majority of non-technical people it's not really going to make even a little bit of difference. If anything it'll make it easier to spot what domain they're on, assuming they're even checking to begin with.
