I understand the theoretical argument.

We follow the precedent of robots.txt, ads.txt, and llms.txt.

The reason is friction. Platforms like Shopify and Wix make .well-known folders difficult or impossible for merchants to configure. Root files work everywhere.

Adoption matters more than namespace hygiene.
