even though carlton banks thinks qr codes and uri's are fine to use. i find it easier to just enter an email address instead of scanning a qr code or entering a weird looking uri. and i am a technical person, i would assume emails are easier to use for "normies"
I can't remember that last time I actually entered an Email address by hand. I either have the address in my address book or if it is new I'll just copy & paste the string or if it is clickable I click it. In other words it is exactly the same thing I would do to an LN BECH32 address (have in address book or copy or click).

Saying "using Email is easier" you are just saying that "Email is a human readable string" since it is treated the same way as an address. Not to mention that sometimes Email addresses are hard to write down by hand too, your own address is 21 characters long and that's a very simple one!
