I think this is why this is in truth, an aesthetic choice masquerading as a conversation about technical implementation. I think there's no two ways around it, @stephenking.bsky.social looks better than @stephenking@mastodon.social. Blue Sky does the names better and opts people into a default server at the moment, and I would say their desktop and mobile experience is a bit better, and that feels like they've solved something specific and technical even though, as you pointed out, the issue with domains is the same in each case.
