Is there a market for this? A strategy?
I'm trying to get something good, but I keep getting back figures in the millions of dollars. Even ".io" domains are $100k. It's ridiculous. Am I doing something wrong?
And yes its hard now. In real life you can have the same business name in two different business areas as long as it doesn't cause confusion. I think we should get rid of domains all the way, I should be able to register any text and make it DNS resolve.
Only answer for having squatters is to make any "domain" buyable so they can't get all the good ones.

How's that any different from the current domain name system? There will still be only one owner of the text "google" or "begin".
We don't use AWS for most of our solutions, we still use traditional (fixed price) hosting. AWS changed hosting into a utility-based service that can balloon way too fast, and they make TONS of money off of unsuspecting clients, especially government clients. It's wild to see their bills at times for even simple web sites that don't get tons of traffic. On-Prem services are better sometimes, but no-one wants to hear that.
