Not really.
UX could chose between giving importance and trust to some "domain aliases" (aka NIP-05), or giving importance to the web of trust of someone.
You either trust some DNS and web admin, or you trust your follows contact lists.
Doing both is confusing for the user, imo.
Thinking in usernames is thinking in the ol' way of doing of the pre-nostr era.

It’s not about trust, the “verification” part of NIP-05 is a nonstarter. It’s an identifier to locate a record.
Eg, my NIP-05 is f7z.io, far easier to remember and say aloud than my npub.
The nip-05 alias as an identifier to locate a record for the first time could have a pass, but just if treated as that, a tool for finding a user.
Still, several nostr clients mark NIP-05 identities as somehow"verified", confusing completely the user, and opening the door to several scam possibilities.
That's why it's about trust. NIP-05 usage in several nostr client right now seems to show 'trusted users' falsely.
