I don’t know, but in times where search engines are kings, do TLDs really matter?
Some people in the past said shorter TLDs ranked better in terms of SEO, but that doesn’t seem to be true either.

Personally, I could have gotten yarmo.nl, given that I'm Dutch. I chose yarmo.eu because I'm fairly certain my future is not in the Netherlands, but elsewhere in the EU.
I also wouldn't want a TLD that support Britain's continuing colonial rule and defense of acts against human rights.
I'm not saying all should boycott .io, just the (open source) developers who wish their products (and domains) to reflect their core principles.
When you have to enunciate them down a phone line or in person then yes, they do. Especially when they're not .com or .co.uk
Several times I've responded to someone's request for my email address with "I'll send you a WhatsApp to click " instead of trying to spell it out.
