Well, when I print, it’s by selecting a printer by a name (that I or someone gave it) from a list of printers I’ve already discovered (or configured).
When I throw a movie from my phone to the TV, it’s by hitting an icon on the video player.
If I play from a music collection, it’s listed as an icon in Finder on my Mac, as are NAS devices.

I’d like to think such uses are largely all GUI/icon driven.  Or perhaps increasingly voice driven, like Alexa. How often will foo.homenet.arpa, or foo.homenet be used in typical cases? 

Is the explicit .arpa use case around using the service or device/service management?  Perhaps the latter is when I’m more likely to do web-based or ssh/CLI management.
