Colons are inherently more frightening than dots, especially double colons, which seems like some badly written C++ class escaped from gaol. Dots feel friendly and cute, I would pet an IPv4 address.

Sure, and the rest of the planet hasn't adopted IPv6 either. It's a horrible UX.

In traditional text usage, dots end a sentence. They are terminal. A symbol of stasis. Like death. Contrary to that, a colon always refers to something that comes after: it transcends itself, and wakes my curiosity. It is a symbol of growth and learning.
