Bluesky’s added user verification in a way that’s not entirely bad. Different entities can become verifiers. So if you run a company you can verify your own employees. Bluesky PBC also will run a verifier. I think this isn’t a terrible solution to preventing impersonation.

NIP-05 is not and is not supposed to be a verification system.

Please, see this: https://hedgedoc.semisol.dev/ciXY6QE-Tx6CQZowDwcK4A

no, the equivalent of nip-05 is the atproto handle-did pairing system. https://atproto.com/specs/handle

afaict, bsky verifications are rather a more limited equivalent of [NIP-58](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/58.md)
