But from a practical point of view it is a hassle if you have to verify the link between an end investor and the company by tracing through a nominee/custody arrangement on top of the pension trustee arrangement (which has been deliberately been put in place so that the shares are not even owned by the investor's estate for tax purposes).

A few years ago I would have just bought shares with a certificate, but it seems like they are trying to discourage that.

You still can.  There's nothing to stop you.  Majority of investors have a preference for lower costs and not having the administrative burden of trading with paper certificates.

I found a website all about shareholder perks which I found quite helpful when I was looking at it. It made it easy to understand and I found some I didn't know about and helped me save money at All Bar One and Toby Carvery

Are you planning to share the name of this website?!

As a new poster you won't be able to post actual links but you should be able to post enough to direct posters to it - there are various such sites, such as https://moneyweek.com/439384/the-best-shares-to-hold-for-perks-and-freebies and those published by platforms such as HL and Fidelity.
