Most of us would have no problem doing it, but the majority of users don't
even understand why there's dots in the first place let any why they'd need
to put one for nyc but not for facebook.com

Whilst I am not a fan of dotless domains, as long as one uses the fully
qualified domain name (e.g. http://ac./), there should not be any
trouble using it in any sane software. It seems that most people aren't
aware these days that a fqdn includes the trailing period (by definition).
