I feel like this is such an essential thing to have in the crypto space if it's to ever have a serious chance at mass adoption. The fact that this easy mistake can be so calamitous and with no customer support because... well its crypto, seems like a fundamental flaw.

i don't think so.
you see any coin that has a similar address as another one obviously had lazy developers who didn't care or even know about how to change a single line of code to produce a different looking address that is invalid by the wallet of the coin they are copying. so by definition that is a shitcoin and is useless. consequently it doesn't have any adoption let alone want to enter mass adoption.

there are exceptions like tether that don't have a network of their own and rely on bitcoin network. when you send tether you are actually sending them on bitcoin blockchain and to a bitcoin address so it makes sense that the address is the same.
