Why is it www.google.com and not google.com.www

you know there's an actual reason for this?

com > google > www

"www" is a subdomain of "google" which is a subdomain of the top level domain "com"

historically that was a conventional way to separate services (ftp.google.com, www.google.com gopher.google.com)
