The reasoning that the trailing parts of an URL don't worth being revealed to the user because they don't provide for much information is BS. The information is the resolution of uncertainty (see Shannon's information theory). The path and parameters within the URL reduces user's uncertainty about the request sent to the server by the browser, making them information equally meaningful as the hostname. Google'a promotion of the regression is understandable as it's been among top offenders of the semantics of the URL.
