Why NIP05, when you can verify domain ownership via TXT record?
TXT record is simple to set up, you don’t necessarily need to host a website to add such record. It’s faster as well.
You don’t need to be tech savvy to copy&paste npub in DNS settings. Literally anyone can do it + it’s less steps to verify yourself.

Hmm. I'm guessing to make it easier to provide NIP05 services. It is much easier to have dynamic served content via a website than to do it with TXT records.
Can you give an example of such service?
https://nostrcheck.me/, https://app.nip05.social/home, https://www.nostr-check.com/ and plenty of others
Looks like totally unnecessary middleman. Why do I need to use provider when I can verify myself on my own?
Maybe I don’t understand something but it goes against the self sovereignty principle
