I feel the issue is the lack of transparency and control. Who is to say some registrar won't start charging people per visit or % revenue in the future?

Sure, I hear you. If it's a registrar, it's okay, simply change it.
For a registry, I believe that they would risk their mass market business cases, but I'm also very sceptical about those ngTLDs for that reason.
.sexy is about 60-100$ per year. If you've build a business on it, paying double the amount should not hurt.
For me the most important thing about this new gTLDs is more about reputation of the gTLD registry. What if these go out of service? I'm pretty sure that there exist a protocol for that case, but I'm also sure that domains in a less popular new gTLD space might get far less protection from ICANN than any non-sponsored gTLD.
