In the past, many DNS servers were configured so you can execute an "ls" to list the subdomains Nowadays most have disabled that option.
Do you have any references for this functionality? I’ve never encountered something like that in the RFCs, or in any server.

It's not about 50% globally. It's like 50% of .SE, which is itself less than 25% as large as .INFO. He's guessing, and he's wrong. That's the point of my comment. I don't care what you do with the observation; he brought it up, and he's way off. (I don't think it's weird that he's way off; I'm not criticizing Mockapetris, just correcting the stat. But your vehemence demands a direct response from me, and I'll provide…
I don’t know what you mean by “vehemence”, but I note that even though you said it “demands a direct reponse”, you didn’t actually answer the question.

I wonder if he considered that even under a domain/host/path format, an autocomplete could probably be designed to ignore the domain and search the host. Eg, if you're searching for com/welcometothejungle/en/collections/behindthecode, just start typing "welcometothejungle" and autocomplete will find that substring and return the full URL.
Solution in search of a problem. Whats the issue with having the domain name, an essentially flat map from name to number, going from least general to most general, and a path, representing a file system tree, going from most general down its nodes to the most specific? Is the argument they make up two parts of a url, and thus should behave the same way? Seems a bit superficial.
Regarding DNSSEC adoption, for US names: it's less than 2%, just in terms of raw signed domains. It's lower if you're looking at adoption among popular domains.

Not sure where he's getting his numbers from, but check out: DNSSEC validation, by country from APNIC https://stats.labs.apnic.net/dnssec
