Because of exorbitant price set by the registry. After the apps boom, domain name has lost half of it’s value. And, rest was messed up by the new TLDs.

I strongly believe if there was original gTLDs and ccTLDs, internet would be a better place.

This sounds like a good thing though. The high price makes squatting unviable so domains are left unregistered and available for someone who will actually use them.

All the new TLDs removed scarcity from the system which didn’t provide any value.

new-age tld's don't count

I have a .world tld, and it's not unusual for email inputs to wrongly mis-validate my perfectly valid email.

even my brain has a hard time validating those ... idk {com,net,org} for international audiences and cctld for local stuff seemed enough

Seems like these issues come from the tlds longer than 3 chars.

I have a .red and a .me and never had an email field fail to validate.
