It was a mistake to have GLTDs other than the two-letter country codes. That would have ensured that the DNS namespace was partitioned in a way that mapped directly to legal jurisdictions.

As it is now, we have the proliferation of GTLDs that with an extremely ambiguous mapping to legal jurisdictions.

Agreed. Still, for large, international companies and institutions I doubt the `.int` TLD would have caught on.

.int is for international treaty organisations. It is highly restricted, it is not available to companies.
