It might be worth pointing out that this is not a recent development. For example, take the names of text editors: - Obvious: Word, Notes, Writer, ed, Notepad

It might be worth pointing out that this is not a recent development. For example, take the names of text editors: - Obvious: Word, Notes, Writer, ed, Notepad etc. - Less obvious: vi, vim, Emacs, nano/pico Or car brands: - ‘Obvious’: General Motors, BMW, Volkswagen - Less Obvious: Mercedes, Ford, Audi So this is definitely not a recent phenomenon and I hence doubt that you could link it to the length of domain names.
