Have you noticed that more and more websites now don't have their URL starting by www ?

Is it the death of www ?

I sure hope so. It was always a silly prefix.

Yes I agree. Life is better without this prefix.

But what's about the marketing aspect.

Imagine now on poster, how we going to visually identify a website from a brand name ;-)

It's the way the site's DNS is configured. An A (Host) record is actually defined for www.yourdomain.com in DNS in order for www to point to the web server. One can define an A record that everything in the parent domain goes to; hence the lack of www.
