> You mean P2PK? Who uses that nowadays?

I'm not aware of any wallet that supports it except electrum, I think (I've never tested it). Taproot also uses a form of p2pk, though I'm not aware of any taproot-supporting wallet that lets you send to a "raw" pubkey; they all want it wrapped in the bc1p format, where there *is* a checksum.

Ethereum does have checksums, they are just optional

Indeed! Don't follow it too much, was introduced at some point, but wasn't supported initially.

sending directly to a pubkey is still a standard way to send money
