Why hasn't sh.itjust.works changed to a better domain? (sh.itjust.works)

The current domain is basically invisible to search engines. sh.itjust.works is too long, the .works TLD isn't SEO-friendly, and the "sh." subdomain doesn't add value. Why not use something shorter like itjustworks.com or itjustworks.org instead?

Is this deliberate? Would appreciate if an admin could explain the reason.

I don't think the domain is the issue so much as the servers it's run off of. Love the instance, but god damn the number of times it just straight up fails to load. It's almost comical because of the name.
