Irrelevant.
Nobody types in a URL these days. Even if you are typing in the “address” bar it goes straight to a search engine.
So you could have a url of www.aihfdhfdgfdgfd.uk and as long as the sight is decently indexed and contains relevant pages you customers will find you.
Apart from that if I did come across a site with a .uk domain I would just assume it was associated with some scam as no respectable company would use this TLD.
The whole DNS system has fallen into the control of greedy and corrupt individuals, and, there is no effective way to stop them. Long term however this is an own goal as trust in DNS vanishes.
I see a business opertunity for a credit rating type agency to give allocate scumbag ratings to URLs.
