I guess the only surprise here is that they're selling it.

It's probably some contractual obligation as a registrar.

The product isn't being sold, just the domain names. And you can't exactly just delete millions of domain names, it'd be an ICANN contract violation (as well as just being a horrible idea and causing endless amounts of harm to the Internet as a whole).
