Isn't v2 completely deprecated?

Or are you asking why arent more people using Tor in general?

Domain names are random, cant memorize them. Solving that requires centralization or blockchain of some sorts.

I don't see how it's an issue when qr codes and bookmarks are a thing.

Why do you need to memorize it?
