 Everything is obvious, and even there is no need even to ask website
 holders for their opinions, as everything was clear already decade ago.
 However, this is - someone who has higher access to WP decisions, decides
 whatever they think personally and force you to obey onto that, without
 giving any option to you. That is just mindless, however that is how WP
 is. Lack of some bright decisions. Any fact? sure, this is fact that has
 no argument against -
 give us option in Dashboard to control that field on/off .
 No. WP doesn't (hasn't) give that option to us. They think they know
 better what you want. that is the example dictacy.

 Ouch, how I forgot, they are so kind and tell you - "there are plenty
 plugins that do the job". So, yes Average Joe, you should go and install
 some hecky plugin (by whoever developer, by possible security issues in
 those plugins, so if you site gets hacked because of "those plugins",
 don't blame WP). yeah, that is the story. So, someone out there 1 in 10
 thinks that s/he likes the URL field in WP. So, dear universe, bear
 fighting the spam and deleting comments every day, wasting your precious
 time of the life for that person, who thinks he likes that illusional
 useful feature.
