Thats IMO one of the worst engineering decisions in the protocol, besides all the others, but this one (making identity depend on domains, meaning on third parties antithetical to decentralization) is… laughable. Who was responsible for it?
But, the theory goes, you’re not supposed to be reliant on third parties as you should be in control of your own domain (or within a few degrees of the person who is).
Large instances are what are antithetical to decentralisation.
Of course, the reality of it is that, it just hasn’t worked out like that.
