As someone who is all in on .app and .dev, wtf. I build a brand using these domain names and Google is going to sell them to the highest bidder??

You bought a short-term lease on the domain names.

Why should any TLDs at all, like .dev and .app, be owned by Google?

They shouldn’t be owned by any or even exist at all. The entire new TLD ecosystem was a disgusting cash grab.

Not sure about Should but, with enough money you can make your own TLD. G "just" paid some big bucks to "own" them.
