What? .local is the dedicated TLD for Zeroconf/Bonjour/mDNS! How is that deprecated?
And you’re just reconfirming my point: All of these recommendations are great for publicly hosted sites or corporate environments, but largely impracticable for home users that don’t know how to, or don’t want to, have a second job as sysadmins.
Home users also don't have IMAP servers they run themselves. They are in public email service.
