> Maybe the real story here is that the ccTLD registrars, who weren't mentioned, are disproportionately good at deterring cybercrime.

I think that some ccTLDs requiring positive identification, usually as a side effect of residency or nationality requirements, immensely help here (versus most gTLDs requiring f***-all identification).
