They're not supposed to mean anything.

They're supposed to be an easy way to identify an npub

Think payment address vs LNURL.

I give my payment address out verbally and via post 100% of the time - never copy/paste LNURL

Feature, not a bug.

As long as it relates back to the npub, it's good.

It's meant for simplicity of sharing a profile. Nothing more. And it acts perfectly.

Just share the npub. Nip05 requires users to add additional services as most will not self host.

Next time you meet someone, please recite your npub and let me know how it goes.
