New middlemen. In this case, Phoenix owns the domain and manages the DNS records. Users rely on Phoenix to operate this honestly and reliably.
Recommendation is to use these email-like DNS-based addresses only when needed - when being human-readable/understandable/writeable is actually important (e.g. it's not important when someone is scanning a QR code). Otherwise it's better to just use the bitcoin address (BOLT12, silent payment, etc) directly.
My dude. the domains is mine. tips@juangalt.com. this isnt lightning url.

Right, that is the cool thing. You can use your own domain. And you use a feature called DNS sec to lock it in more apparently. Though I don't really understand it very well.
But I think you're critique is actually on point anyway because most people probably won't use their own domain so use a service provider some third party. But perhaps there's some technologies that we can develop now to lock those in further as well.
