Most users are able to identify example.com as a URL but not example.gq because they have been trained for years to look for .com
This training will take some more time for other TLDs and will take more time to become normal.
Even now, companies that start with a strange TLD but grow large enough will eventually buy the .com which repeats the cycle that only .com is legit for commercial services.
Anyone know of popular companies in the USA that don’t use .com?
