Having all addresses be rooted in an untypeable null isn’t much better.

It is not null, it's an empty string.

You should read the referenced RFC, it’s right there.

“””Because all domain names end at the root, which has a null string for a label…”””

"null string" or "nil string" or "empty string" are all the same thing.

IDK why we're even talking about this though.
