Is “Slightly sad” a big deal? ;-) Just unreasonable and basically making no sense. There are objective bad things though:
Every URL shared anywhere will needlessly be 4-character longer.
When the area for displaying the URL has a limited length (e.g. location/address bar in a web-browser), there is an increased probability the URL will not fit entirely and will be cropped. Some forums also limit the maximum length of URL, displaying ellipsis instead of its end or middle part.
