I wish TLDs were decentralized so that goofy stuff like this would never happen. It (having companies and entities own and control TLDs) never should have happened in the first place.

I don't think it's a bad thing that a country has control over it's TLD. Using `.ai` is overloading the proper use case for that TLD.

Countries should have their own TLDs, but they should be more obvious and/or not available to the public.

ccTLDs were obvious until ICANN opened the floodgates to new gTLDs.
