Doesn't a lightning address just encode where to find the node to ask for an invoice from?

Yes, but worse: The HTTP server serving invoice requests is usually run by a trusted third party, so it’s additionally bad for privacy and security compared to a lightning invoice.

(Of course lightning addresses are still useful for other reasons.)
