> It’s so confusing (and could lead to security issues) for Apple to use .apple TLD

Rest assured - anything under .apple brand TLD is Apple's.

.app/e or .app/le are not but look quite similar.


Don't most (and possibly all popular) browsers these days hide or de-emphasize the path in the address bar, showing only the domain?


the full host, including subdomains.


In my URL bar, .apple is bold and bright white, the /le on .app/le is grey and faded.

With modern browsers, I don't think this is a problem anymore. Subdomain attacks and query length attacks have already made browsers put address shenanigans mitigations into the address bar.
