Perhaps like democracy it is the least bad option.
The sad part is, giving up control doesn't seem to have stopped other nations from slowly severing themselves from the global conversation like the Great Firewall and Russianet.
Until homo sapiens evolves past tribal effects, those sorts of things will continue happening. Lamentable but symptomatic.
And now look at how many TLDs we have.
What's so bad about having maths TLDs?
People having a passing familiarity with all the TLDs increases security. You know to trust Microsoft.com but it would be easy trick someone into clicking a link to Microsoft.c0m or some such.
There is no c0m but it’d be more like Microsoft.ninja or Microsoft.fun
