I think both ways are desirable. Quarry-like interface for WDQS is already tasked at T104762. Quarry is exteremely useful in lots of ways. The easy typo fixing or code commenting without URL change as mentioned, being able to promise someone to write a query and provide a link there beforehand (much like with "red" pages, you can say "hey, look here tomorrow, there'll be something really cool"), being able to reuse old URLs which you needed only to show some number in a chat which noone would care about in 5 minutes and lots of other stuff.
URL shortening on the other hand is open to all, not just registered users, [considering current Quarry shortcomings] allows not just query author to run it and so forth.
We definitely would benefit from having both is what I believe.
