If you have issues with google hiding the www-prefix - can you give a reasonable explanation what it means that some webpages start with www. and others don't? (an explanation that makes sense for a user, not one of technicalities in the implementation)

the honest answer is: having a www prefix or not has little practical meaning from the user's side, it's a convention that some people like and others dislike. hiding it removes a source of confusion.

Do you know how they decide whether or not to hide or add it? Flaws in this heuristic would be what's relevant to users - when, if ever, does it break things?

There is a list if trivial sub domains (such as www and m) they Chrome decided to hide. There is a flag to turn it off too. It's a good move from Chrome to have it enabled by default.

See followup. That's not a complete answer and doesn't address the interesting parts.https://twitter.com/RichFelker/status/1038091260727316480 …
