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?
