The last 100 times were in the past few hours, roughly. Are you assuming nobody uses FQDNs or URLs anymore? Better yet, are you assuming only humans use those?
You were both savage and self-deprecating, well done!
I dictated the domain for our home automation system to our early-20s cleaner ("dictionaryword dot dictionaryword"), and after a few minutes she asked me "what do you usually Google to get there?".
a minute ago? what an outrageous question
I think many people Google “gmail” and click the link instead of memorizing URLs
Even then you're going to be hitting up DNS to turn "www.gmail.com" into an IP address.
Then an HTTP redirect to mail.google.com
And maybe to accounts.google.com too , if you’re not signed in
