None of this seem to have any rhyme or reason. What's the reason for these to exists, besides to raise funds for whorever is selling these?
As for the rest, meh, these could be "I have an idea for a domain" but the domain costs 250k
Not quite, assuming we're not talking about .brand, they have to make them available for purchase by the general public. However, they do get to dictate prices.
eg: www.x
this is what the new gTLDs are.
But every one of these plays with all sorts of collisions of user expectations. "word.cloud.microsoft" is one of those URLs that will never look right to me, but is now a corporate staple.
