So, I really don’t want to say “crypto solves this”, but name identities and ownership over domains is actually one of the valid use cases for NFTs.

Cryptography solved this a long time ago. No need for NFTs or anything “crypto”.

  How can you solve Zooko’s Trilemma without “anything crypto”?

    “.onion addresses and bitcoin addresses are secure and decentralized but not human-meaningful;”
    
    All “crypto as in blockchains” requires trust and buy-in to that blockchain, and someone to put it on the blockchain. It being internally secure/trustworthy does not intrinsically mean it’s globally secure/trustworthy.
    
    Cryptography is not limited to blockchains.

    Sure, for the general case. In practice, we can look at Ethereum’s blockchain which has all the “buy-in” and “trust” enough to the point that it’s used to hold billions worth of value and is secured by the its validator network.
