If you have huge servers, it may be more cost effective to run your own hardware. Then you control the port.

Domain doesn't solve the port move problem. What if you move your gameserver instance to another machine but the port is already in use? Also its a lot simpler to just advertise game server id. Don't need to worry about updating it from everywhere. Please don't be against it if you have no use for it. Its a good feature so I think it should be welcomed.

If it is possible to have a cleaner solution, why not push for that? What if the port changes? (I am assuming the IDs track IP + port.) Maybe people would rather give out an ID that is always relevant?

No need to advertise using an account id for that reason.
