That has never been true, and as you discovered is not true today.
Webmasters who want www to be optional -- most of them, thankfully --
either use server code that redirects www.example.com to example.com
or vice versa, just as they use server code that redirects http: to
https:.
Possibly the first can also be done by having identical DNS records
for example.com and www.example.com, but that`s just a guess. I know
that I had to make the mapping explicit on my host`s server.
