idk man I haven't seen anyone complaining about it on Bluesky

This is a net positive, nice to have a social media where verification checks are...actually used for verifying the person behind an account

But isn’t the domain already doing that?

The problem with domains is that regular people would need to know what a domain is and what verified ownership says about the account in question.

Even then, reading domains is quite difficult, even for people who know about the topic: Humans are Bad at URLs and Fonts Don’t Matter
