Gutenberg Books

Fun fact, the name Jeeves being associated with butlers comes from P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves books. His works are in the public domain on gutenberg.org and are really funny.

YouTube

It's not exactly what you're asking, but there are some domains that still use their www. Name and redirect the shorter name to that one rather than vice versa. For example, https://youtube.com takes you to https://www.youtube.com even in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty two.

Reddit

For example, reddit.com redirects to www.reddit.com, although your browser may hide the "http://www." part. www.slashdot.org, on the other hand, redirects to slashdot.org.

Domain.com

I agree that it has been convention, my goal was to understand if the domain.com -> www.domain.com was ratified in any kind of standard anywhere.. I'm thinking about it from a security assumptions standpoint.

Generally, it's considered a bad practice if you're running a website to not have some kind of record for both 'www' and '.' but someone making a go of it their self in 1990? Yep, there were occasionally websites where if you went to http://example.com you'd get a dns error, but if you went to http://www.example.com, it'd work fine.
