It does not mean that attaching URL directly is not worth including into
org. This sounds pretty common use case, especially considering the number
of packages providing similar feature. You mentioned org-board, but
there is also org-download and org-web-tools.

I agree that monolith is completely uncommon tool and I would not expect
the majority of users to have it installed, but the same functionality
utilising built-in url.el (as a default) should be acceptable.

Best,
