Delegating .dev was fine. Sick of hearing about this. As the meme goes, "well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions." Everyone who got burned by .dev got what they deserve and needs to grow up already, take responsibility for themselves, and get over it.

Delegating .dev was not fine. Does everything need to be for rent?

The name system is a unique non-renewable resource. And it's not like ICANN gave people a lot of choice for unregistered domains.

By your logic, I suppose .onion was not fine either, till cca 2015 when it got special-use status? And all the name system alternatives should be abolished, because we need to rent their TLDs to some uninterested party?
