Who has ever typed a Bitcoin Address?
We don't even type Account Numbers, most of the time.
So, who cares, how they look, how long they are.
Typing them is just another point of failure.
I had to do this once for a localbitcoins transaction. Buyer did not have a QR code for me to scan. I typed it in from reading it, then he read it off, then I read it off.
When it happened again with someone else I realized he could just copy and paste the address to me in a message.
