Domains labels are fairly strictly defined, so you check that a bit more stringently.

Something like example@com is technically a valid email address; although I don't know if there are any TLDs which accept emails.

That's true, I didn't think about that case.

I don't think I've ever seen a bare TLD in real life like that though--maybe very early on as DNS became a thing? Not since the web though.
