I don’t see how that increases the phishing risk. If the user mistypes a url, DNS doesn’t have any anti-spam mechanisms. If they mistype part of a url, Google can correct it.
Whether or not they do so in practice is another question of course and there are well publicized examples of them failing.
If what you’re saying was correct then preventing most phishing emails would simply be a matter of “educating users”. I believe at scale that is an impossible task.

The point is that you rely on the search engine to correct it properly.
