Yes. No wild claims were made. Arguing over 5$ a year is silly and that's an equally valid opinion.

Another of your wholly invented strawmen.

Irrelevant strawman. A squatter can take a single domain and say it costs 10k. This has nothing to do with the subject.
I've expressed mine, and my opinion is that it's stupid for anyone to make wild claims on how anyone can or cannot base their decision to buy domain names based on price, and argue that they should be deprived of their right just because they are price-conscious.
Do you disagree?
> I might say only a moron spends 10 seconds (...)
Only a moron buys domain names without assessing their availability, and this also covers variants including based on TLDs. A company does not simply buy example.com while leaving out typosquatter variants like example.org, example.xyz, example.io, example.co.uk, etc. If you had any experience in the domain, you would know that all it takes is a domain squatter to turn your 5$/year domain into a >10k expense.
