Please don’t use url shorteners, this hides any information the url gives you about where it is taking you. Also most things on the internet support the concept of a link where the url is hidden behind friendly text but still inspectable without clicking by mousing over it.
You’re only thinking of public use cases. For personal use, as I’m sure most people self-hosting would be using it for, it’s very convenient. I use it for work for typing long urls into a new computer we don’t yet have remote management of yet. At home, it makes it really easy to type any link with a TV remote or controller.
