One more reason I do sometimes this because I remember the website but don't quite remember the domain (was it .com or .net or .org)

I do understand that, but the poster specifically said typing "xyzx.com", not "xyzx" - and I definitely see people doing that

Yup. I have a friend who goes to Google, types "facebook.com," then proceeds. I mean the whole facebook.com
