They rolled this out 10 months ago but rolled it back after community backlash.

PieUser··on “We plan to hide ‘https’ scheme and subdomain ‘www’ in Chrome omnibox in M76”
They delayed the rollout after people spoke out against it:

"In Chrome M69, we rolled out a change to hide special-case subdomains “www” and “m” in the Chrome omnibox. After receiving community feedback about these changes, we have decided to roll back these changes in M69 on Chrome for Desktop and Android."

I don't think there's any going back this time around...
